hi all,
 
I am quite new in this business and there is a thing where I am wondering why :
INSTALL file says :

NOTE: The optional --enable-shared=ssl option enables the building of mod_ssl as a DSO `libssl.so'.

I did that like in the description above, but when I use --enable-shared=ssl then mod_ssl is compiled in apache statically. It appears 2 times when I do ./httpd -l !?? Furthermore there is no libssl.so created.

Now the strange thing :

When I am using --enable-module=ssl then ./httpd -l is positive (there is no mod_ssl.c statically compiled in)and libssl.so is created somewhere in ...I don't know exactly. But the needed libssl.so is in any case existent. So it is sufficient to put AddModule mod_ssl.c and to LoadModule ssl_module    libexec/libssl.so in httpd.conf

That's working pretty good and I am quite happy about that but I am wondering why this 'procedure' makes just the opposite.

 

Thanks to all and thanks for this great open-source prg
