Hello!
I'm not a real UNIX guru so this mail could be total nonsense, but here
goes.
I have an Apache server that I compile myself (I rarely use RPM's, they
make me feel uncomfortable since I feel I have less control, but I am a
rookie on RPM's) and I have PHP compiled into it as well.
Since I have modules that are compiled into Apache I would still like to
have them there after the mod_ssl installation too. But when running the
Step-By-Step installation on the modssl.org site I realized that this
would most likely destroy any previous makefiles created for Apache.
And it did, my PHP apaci (what does it mean?) configuration was lost.
So, I tried to install OpenSSL as a shared object library (I noticed
that <apache_dir>/src/modules/ssl/libssl.a was available) so I ran this
configure for Apache:
./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
--activate-module=src/modules/ssl/libssl.a
The Apache makefile was altered and I now have the rule for creating
certificates. I created a certificate for my local hostname.
I fired up the new httpd binary that should contain (staticly linked?) PHP
and mod_ssl.
I run "netscape https://myhostname/" which makes netscape tell me that
"Server connection refused or server busy".
What I have managed to figure out (with my small portion of compilation
and UNIX knowledge) is that <apache_dir>/src/modules/ssl is NOT the
mod_ssl library. But where is it then?
Now for the question:
Can I staticly link mod_ssl together with other staticly linked modules?
I am used to compiling stuff into Apache by activating them as modules
during the configuration of Apache.
If I got any terminology wrong in this mail, please tell me so that I can
communicate with other users more effiecently in the future, thank you!
Best regards, Peter Gebauer!
