Do you have the ssl module in your module folder?? . the file name would be mod_ssl.so under /Apache/modules/ path

How to? I want to serve files via https on my apache server. I did this already using a lighttpd web server and it was easy. I just had to follow this document: http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/lighttpd/Docs:SSL Now I am ambitious. I want to do the same thing but on Apache. I'm using Apache 2.2.15 I created a very simple httpd.conf file which basically has this in it: ServerRoot "/pt/apache" Listen localhost:8000 <Directory "/pt/apache/htdocs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> <IfModule ssl_module> SSLRandomSeed startup builtin SSLRandomSeed connect builtin </IfModule> I started apache with this command line: apachectl graceful And I found that apache works fine. Next I looked around in conf/ I found this interesting file: conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf I made these changes to it: Listen localhost:8443 <VirtualHost _default_:8443> # General setup for the virtual host DocumentRoot "/pt/apache/htdocs" ServerName localhost:8443 ServerAdmin y...@localhost SSLCertificateFile "/pt/apache/conf/server.pem" My pem file looks like this: -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- MIICXQIBAAKBgQCr6bXTBZZeGbo05I8VWCXFl92kbc7E6TpFTzxhWgMeOyr9BkDw snip U0piIs+1OcgZP5PBOXZilLAFeBz71xvRyLIeAI20cgoY -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIDdTCCAt6gAwIBAgIJAP1Hv+6EsYubMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBAUAMIGEMQswCQYD snip wPtx995cyTbVeQBwfltVrlAXv+5ND3F0Qw== -----END CERTIFICATE----- Then... I added this line to conf/httpd.conf: Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf Which, I assume, "pulls" httpd-ssl.conf into httpd.conf Next, I tried this: $ apachectl graceful I saw: Syntax error on line 62 of /pt/apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf: Invalid command 'SSLSessionCache', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration httpd not running, trying to start So it looks like I need to: "define a module" in the server configuration. I'm not sure how to do that. I see this syntax in my httpd.conf <IfModule ssl_module> SSLRandomSeed startup builtin SSLRandomSeed connect builtin </IfModule> What's it do? Is it supposed to "define a module" I looked at this URL suggested by a friend: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~brams006/selfsign_ubuntu.html The above URL suggests I do this: run the /usr/sbin/a2enmod script But, my version of apache does not have an a2enmod script (or an sbin directory). BTW, here is my version: 2.2.15 And here is where I got it: - http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache22 - http://download.nextag.com/apache/httpd/httpd-2.2.15.tar.gz I installed it with these 3 commands: ./configure --prefix=/pt/apache make make install Here is what my server root looks like: /pt/apache: total used in directory 0 available 39446244 drwxr-xr-x 14 maco staff 476 Jun 19 12:41 . drwxr-xr-x 90 maco staff 3060 Jun 19 17:15 .. drwxr-xr-x 17 maco staff 578 Jun 19 13:01 bin drwxr-xr-x 11 maco staff 374 Jun 19 12:41 build drwxr-xr-x 4 maco staff 136 Jun 19 12:41 cgi-bin drwxr-xr-x 8 maco staff 272 Jun 21 22:24 conf drwxr-xr-x 22 maco staff 748 Jun 19 12:41 error drwxr-xr-x 3 maco staff 102 Mar 1 21:33 htdocs drwxr-xr-x 160 maco staff 5440 Jun 19 12:41 icons drwxr-xr-x 48 maco staff 1632 Jun 19 12:41 include drwxr-xr-x 4 maco staff 136 Jun 21 21:21 logs drwxr-xr-x 4 maco staff 136 Jun 19 12:41 man drwxr-xr-x 180 maco staff 6120 Mar 1 21:34 manual drwxr-xr-x 3 maco staff 102 Jun 19 12:41 modules If you have a minute or 3, Please send me clues or a URL to a how-to for Apache 2.2.15 and SSL. In the mean time I'll see if I can get SSL to work on nginx.
