With something as important as apache, I'd *alway* suggest compiling it from
source. Along with OpenSSL, and mod_ssl, then follow the instructions, and it
should work fine.
You might want to set up a Debian-style layout for installation to 'debian'
places: simply add the following to the $apache_src/config.layout:
<Layout Debian>
prefix: /
exec_prefix: $prefix
bindir: $prefix/usr/bin
sbindir: $prefix/usr/sbin
libexecdir: $prefix/usr/lib/apache/1.3.19
mandir: $prefix/usr/man
sysconfdir: /etc/apache
datadir: /usr/lib/apache/data
iconsdir: $datadir/icons
htdocsdir: $datadir/htdocs
cgidir: $datadir/cgi-bin
includedir: $prefix/include/apache
localstatedir: /var
runtimedir: $localstatedir/run
logfiledir: $localstatedir/log/apache
proxycachedir: $localstatedir/cache/apache
</Layout>
Then when you run ./configure, use a --with-layout=Debian
That's how I do it...
