I have apache 1.3.22 installed on my redhat box, but I need to add the openSSL module to enable a SSL server......

How do I go about adding the module to apache? I set up the server about 3 months ago, and it has been running great-but I need to make some additions, and any help would be appreciated!

thanks,
Jeff

Near the bottom of your httpd.conf file is going to be a section for adding the ssl and php modules. It will also have a list of the required components... install those, uncomment what you need, kill and restart apache.

Ok, I figured since the new apache (1.3.23) was out I would upgrade, AND install mod_ssl and openssl for my server. Here is what I have done so far:

[root@ns3 mod_ssl-2.8.6-1.3.23]# ./configure --with-apache=/usr/local/apache/ugh/apache_1.3.23/
Configuring mod_ssl/2.8.6 for Apache/1.3.23
+ Apache location: /usr/local/apache/ugh/apache_1.3.23/ (Version 1.3.23)
+ Auxiliary patch tool: ./etc/patch/patch (local)
+ Applying packages to Apache source tree:
o Extended API (EAPI)
o Distribution Documents
o SSL Module Source
o SSL Support
o SSL Configuration Additions
o SSL Module Documentation
o Addons
Done: source extension and patches successfully applied.

Now proceed with the following commands (Bourne-Shell syntax):
$ cd /usr/local/apache/ugh/apache_1.3.23/
$ SSL_BASE=/path/to/openssl ./configure ... --enable-module=ssl
$ make
$ make certificate
$ make install
[root@ns3 mod_ssl-2.8.6-1.3.23]# cd /usr/local/apache/ugh/apache_1.3.23/
[root@ns3 apache_1.3.23]# SSL_BASE=/usr/local/openssl/openssl-0.9.6c/ ./configure ... --enable-module=ssl
Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.23
+ using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout)

[root@ns3 apache_1.3.23]# SSL_BASE=/usr/local/openssl/openssl-0.9.6c/ ./configure --enable-module=ssl

+ SSL library path: /usr/local/openssl/openssl-0.9.6c/

So far no probs, however look at the following:
[root@ns3 apache_1.3.23]# make
===> src
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/apache/ugh/apache_1.3.23'
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/apache/ugh/apache_1.3.23/src'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/apache/ugh/apache_1.3.23/src'
make[1]: *** [build-std] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/apache/ugh/apache_1.3.23'
make: *** [build] Error 2

I'm not sure what the deal is, I already have apache 1.3.22 installed, without any SSL modules attached. I'm learning as I go, so I'm not sure exactly what to do at this point, thanks for the time!
