Apache and mod_ssl

rushenas · 05-15-2008, 09:28 AM

Hi
I've downloaded these packages:
apache_1.3.41.tar.gz
mod_ssl-2.8.31-1.3.41.tar.gz

Openssl already available on my Linux SuSE Enterprise 10 OS.
And I've run these commands:

Code:

tar xvzf openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
cd openssl-0.9.8g
./config
make
cd ..

tar xvzf apache_1.3.41.tar.gz
tar xvfz mod_ssl-2.8.31-1.3.41.tar.gz
cd mod_ssl-2.8.31-1.3.41/
./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.41 --prefix=/usr/local/apache
cd ..
cd apache_1.3.41
SSL_BASE=/usr/include/openssl

after that, I have run this:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so --enable-module=rewrite --enable-module=proxy --enable-module=ssl

And the compiler gave me this error:

Code:

** A test compilation with your Makefile configuration
** failed.  The below error output from the compilation
** test will give you an idea what is failing. Note that
** Apache requires an ANSI C Compiler, such as gcc.

 Aborting!

Where is the problem? How can I have my apache compiled with mod_ssl?

The problem could be that you use a 64bit arch and the needed openssl libs are not compatible. You can run ./Configure in openssl to find the same arch as you system and use this to compile openssl (maybe try ./Configure linux-x86_64 ...). Another thing you must note is that the "SSL_BASE=..." must be in front of the ./configure in the same line. Also you should create dynamic openssl libs. This is what I do to install the exact same software in a Solaris Sparc box:

Code:

openssl:
./Configure solaris-sparcv8-gcc --shared
make
...
mod_ssl:
./configure --with-apache=/path/to/apache-source

apache:
SSL_BASE=/path/to/openssl-source ./configure --enable-module=ssl --prefix=/usr/local/apache ...
make
make certificate
make install

Hope that helps.
