Hi Folks, mod_ssl newbie here. I'm running RH Linux 7.3 and apache 1.3.23. I have been reading the archives and Kabir's book - "Red Hat Linux 7 Server", and from what I understand, correct me if I'm wrong, is that in order to install mod_ssl on my machine, I will have to start from scratch and re install and compile a fresh copy of apache. Is this true? Or can I install mod_ssl on an existing apache machine that has already been configured and set up with e-commerce sites?
If I can install mod_ssl on my machine without re compiling apache, can anyone direct me to any step by step documentation as to how to install and configure mod_ssl and secure sites/Thawte certificates on a Linux 7.x box already set up with apache? Lastly, if it is possible to install mod_ssl on a server already configured with apache with e-commerce sites already set up, are there any security risks in installing mod_ssl on an already configured server? Is it "better", to install mod_ssl on an empty server? Also I read somewhere that this mod_ssl worm is a big problem. Is that true? Should I upgrade my apache software to prevent such an attack, and if I do, will upgrading apache cause any problems with my current set up of my sites?
