How do I install ssl module for apache?

abefroman · 10-17-2009, 06:39 AM

I compiled a fresh install of httpd on a new linux box, added a virtual hosts entry for an https site, but when I try to start apache I get the error:

Code:

Invalid command 'SSLEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a 
module not included in the server configuration

Is this because I don't have mod_ssl compiled in?

And if so how would I go about install that?

TIA

You have to add "--enable-ssl" in ./configure options.

You can always find the "most common" configure
options in a spec file ( from an src.rpm )
Example, post # 9, please see the attached file
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ighlight=httpd

./configure is something like this

Code:

./configure \
        --enable-pie \
        --with-pcre \
        --enable-mods-shared=all \
	--enable-ssl --with-ssl --enable-distcache \
	--enable-proxy \
        --enable-cache \
        --enable-ldap --enable-authnz-ldap \
        --enable-cgid \
        --enable-authn-anon --enable-authn-alias \
        --disable-imagemap
