mod_ssl is an apache module. It can be loaded into the apache core as a
dynamically shared object (DSO) or it can be compiled into the httpd
binary. In either case, you have to restart apache afterwards. There are
a dozen reasons why:
- to load a DSO you need mod_so already compiled in. Is it?
- you need an SSL virtual host for the mod_ssl to serve
- mod_ssl needs to read the certificate files
- you need to open the ssl logfile
- can't be bothered thinking of any more....
All these things require a restart. It should only take a minute to
restart (if everything works). Keep backups of the working httpd binary
and httpd.conf and roll-back to them if you have a problem.
