Is mod_ssl not for versions of Apache over 1.3.41? I've got version 2.2.17 (currently latest)

http://www.modssl.org/

Original question

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
Configuring mod_ssl/2.8.30 for Apache/1.3.39
./configure:Error: Installed Apache doesn't contain Extended API (EAPI)

That's strange because my Apache version is 2.2.17

/etc/init.d/httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.17 (Unix)

No, Apache2 contains an own mod_ssl, you can compile it in by specifying --enable-ssl on the configure command when compiling Apache.

    You're right, but if I don't want to recompile Apache, there doesn't appear to be a configure file in {APACHE_INSTALLATION}/modules/ssl

  • I've recompiled apache with --enable-ssl, i still don't see mod_ssl.so under modules

  • "under modules" - did you mean folder? If you've added --enable-ssl, it will be compiled in statically. If you want a DSO (Dynamic Shared Object), add --enable-mods-shared='ssl' to the configure command.

    Is it possible to enable mod_ssl without recompiling apache. (please answer with more than just "Yes"...)

  • It's technically possible to enable mod_ssl if the Apache server supports DSO. You will need ssl_module (mod_ssl.so) that was compiled for your server. Put it in the right directory (typically /usr/local/apache2/modules for custom builds) and add the line LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so to your httpd.conf.

On a solaris SunOS xxxxxxxxxx5.10 Generic_150400-18 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5240 I built the mod_ssl with the following features

  • installed in the apache module dir
  • edited httpd.conf to include LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

bash# apxs -L/path/to/openssl/dir -I/path/to/openssl/dir/include -Wc,-fPIC -i -a -c mod_ssl.c

For Centos/Fedora distro, install mod_ssl

#yum search mod_ssl
#yum install mod_ssl

Then restart apache and check for ssl module.

#httpd -M | grep -i ssl
 ssl_module (shared)
Syntax OK
