Re: Installing PHP4
Silly me! I thought it would be named mod_ssl!
No hits on debian.org for anything by that name!
No, I don't care about version numbers per se, but between mod_ssl
for Apache 1.3.26 and the current one for Apache 1.3.28 there have
been several bugfixes and one security fix, so why would anyone
install the old one that has bugs and security problems, especially
when the package is a security feature???
I will install libapache-mod-ssl and see how that works.
As for getting modules from anywhere but stable, I have no
idea how to do that!
Thanks,
Dennis

Er...where did you look? It's been in Debian for about four years now.
cthulhu:[~] apt-cache search mod_ssl
libapache-mod-ssl - Strong cryptography (HTTPS support) for Apache

If version numbers are more important to you than a stable and
well-integrated system, then you will always have this problem. The fact
is, you're bypassing the value that Debian releases provide, which is to
make all of these things work together.
If you need more current versions (for specific features and fixes, not for
higher numbers), then you can always get these, in packaged and integrated
form, from unstable.
