Installing ModSSL Question

[Don]

Hi,   I'm new to this so please bare with me.  I am running RedHat Linux 6.2 with Apache 1.3.22 and OpenSSL 0.9.6d.  I wish to install ModSSL so that I can secure my web site.   I have downloaded the mod_ssl-2.8.5-1.3.22 tarball from the web site.  Upon reading the documentation, I find that I need to recompile apache with additional configuration options in order to install ModSSL.   Here is my dilemma.  I never compiled Apache from source but rather installed from rpm packages.  Therefore, there doesn't seem to be any way I can install ModSSL.  I've looked at the FAQ but can see no hints on installing ModSSL once Apache is installed.  Neither have I found and ModSSL rpm package.   I DON'T want to download the Apache tarball and compile/install if I can help it because RedHat is a bit screwy as it uses it's own directories.  Installing Apache from the tarball will undoubtedly mess up my system as it will install in other directories and confuse the hell out of me.   Do I have other options?   Thanks, Don
