Thus spake Francisco Castellon: > Hello list: > > I am wanting to use SSL on apache and I am a bit confused as to how to > go about it. I know that I could use CPAN to install mod_ssl but then is CPAN is an archive for Perl modules. An Apache module != a Perl module. > that all I need or is that the best route to go? I also saw that Debian > has a package (Apt-cache show) called Apache-ssl but then there is also > a library package called openssl. SO I don't know which way to go. As apache-ssl is a version of Apache with SSL support linked in at compile-time rather than through the DSO mechanism. The openssl package provides the openssl binary and related cryptographic tools. > well, if I were to install apache-ssl which is the one that looks like > it has everything would that conflict with the apache configuration I > have already since I already installed php4? You likely want to install libapache-mod-ssl, and modify your Apache configuration to load the module. -- Nathan Poznick <poznick@conwaycorp.net> To be a man's own fool is bad enough; but the vain man is everybody's. - William Penn
