No. You must have the correct version of mod_ssl to fit the Apache. There is also quite a lot that have happened to mod_ssl that will make an upgrade worth the trouble. vh Mads Toftum -- `Darn it, who spiked my coffee with water?!' - lwall __ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: upgrading an ancient version
Hi, I am very familiar configuring mod_ssl / openssl / apache. Can someone advise as to the pitfalls I might encounter, if there are any, and how to overcome them when upgrading from the following versions of software to the latest on a FREEBSD box? OS: 3.2-STABLE FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE #2 i386 (not a chance of upgrading this to latest...yet!) APACHE: 1.3.9 MODSSL: mod_ssl/2.4.0 OPENSSL: OpenSSL/0.9.4 What I am really worried about is my vhost's certs. Will they still work if I upgrade modssl and openssl? Will they still work if I just upgrade apache and mod_ssl (do I even need to upgrade openssl at all?) I have no idea. :-) I wouldn't expect any problems to arise, but why don't you test it by running the upgraded version in a different directory and on different ports? I do this all the time on production machines. Can I just upgrade apache and keep the current versions of modssl and openssl...? You can't do this, mod_ssl generally only works for the version of Apache it's released for. -Dave __ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager[EMAIL PROTECTED]
