1. rm *.rpm # Delete all those $@## RPM's
2. downolad the latest mod_ssl. ( www.modssl.org )
3. untar the mod_ssl package.
4. Follow the instructions in mod_ssl's INSTALL file.
This will involve obtaining and compiling a number of packages including
Apache, openssl, mod_ssl, mm, possibly mod_perl and php. I have not
gotten a good DSO compile yet, but the instructions for a static Apache
+ mod_ssl + php + mysql near the bottom of the mod_ssl INSTALL file have
worked like a charm for me several times.
The first time took about 6 hours to figure out what I was doing, I've
got it down to about a 2 hour process now. Most of that is watching the
compiler work.
I've been watching the php mailing list for a few months, and in most
cases the best RPM solution is not to use them. If what you want to
create does not exactly match what the RPM builder was making you are
out of luck.
