Hello:
I'm trying to get Apache-SSL set up from RPM, and working with PHP and
MySQL. I've having a bit of difficulty doing so, so first I'd like to
walk through how I installed everything, and then discuss the problems I'm
having.
First, I did an 'rpm -e apache apache-devel' to get rid of the regular
Apache installation (I am under the impression that Apache-SSL will also
handle regular port 80 HTTP traffic, is this correct?)
Next, I downloaded and installed the following files from ftp.zedz.net:
openssl-0.9.4-3.i386.rpm
openssl-devel-0.9.4-3.i386.rpm
apache-ssl-1.3.9_1.37-2.i386.rpm
I then ran /usr/sbin/gendummycerts and created a test certificate with
appropriate values. I then edited the httpsd.conf file in the
/etc/httpsd/conf directory and edited ``SSLCertificateFile'' as well as
``SSLCertificateKeyFile'' to point to my test certificate (it originally
was pointing to a sample dummy certificate).
Now, I should be able to start up Apache-SSL for testing, correct? I did
an /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpsd start. Funny thing is, I get an "OK" and a
message in my logs that httpsd started succeeded. *HOWEVER* trying to do
an https://10.0.0.1 didn't work. I stopped it, and started it, still
nothing. Tried it a 3rd time. This time it worked. (HUH?) It seems
'/home/httpsd/sbin/gcache' is run upon startup, and this doesn't seem to
allow SSL connections every time. Also it doesn't seem to terminate when
you do an httpsd stop.
Anyways, it kinda worked, so I tried to get PHP working. I went into my
/usr/local/src/php-3.0.12 directory, and did a 'make clean' and 'rm
config.cache' file, then did a:
./configure --with-apxs=/home/httpsd/sbin/apxs --with-mysql
--with-apache=/usr/include
I saw an error about a missing httpsd file in my /home/httpsd/sbin
directory, so I made a symlink from /usr/sbin/httpsd to
/home/httpsd/sbin/httpsd and ran ./configure again. This time, the
configuration process completed.
I then did a 'make'. I received a myriad of missing header files, so I
then did installed apache-devel from the Red Hat 6.1 distribution CD. I
did another ``make clean ; rm config.cache ; ./configure --{etc...} and
then make'.
The build process worked. I then did a ``make install''. The
installation process worked too, and the appropriate entries were made in
my /etc/httpsd/conf/httpsd.conf file.
I then tried an /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpsd start (several times, as per my
previous attempts), but although I see that httpsd starts successfully (as
per my system logs), I am not able to get an SSL (or even a regular
HTTP) connection.
I'm at a loss here, and would appreciate any assistance. Isn't there an
easy way of doing this via RPM? Or do I need to do everything with Apache
from now on via source tarballs (grrr...)?
Thanks...
