Re: compiling with SSL (Apache Users)

Hello,

I'm new with compiling apache 2.4.7, but learning every day.
I'm struggling with enabling SSL for a few days and i'm still not getting it to work.

I have my source of apache in;

/usr/local/src/httpd-2.4.7/

I have tried a couple of configure commands but still not getting it work..

./configure --with-ssl

./configure --enable-ssl
./configure --with-ssl=[path to my openssl]

If OpenSSL is in an odd location, you'd need both "--enable-ssl --with-ssl=[path ...]".

As my last resort I tried;

./configure --enable-mods-shared=reallyall --enable-load-all-modules

Note that httpd.conf is not overwritten once it has been installed the first time. See <PREFIX>/conf/original/httpd.conf.

After make && make install, I checked what modules were enabled by;

./apachectl -M

but in that list, I don't see SSL or anything at all.
My list is not very long;

oaded Modules:
core_module (static)
so_module (static)
http_module (static)
mpm_event_module (static)

authn_file_module (shared)
authn_core_module (shared)
authz_host_module (shared)
authz_groupfile_module (shared)
authz_user_module (shared)
authz_core_module (shared)

access_compat_module (shared)
auth_basic_module (shared)
reqtimeout_module (shared)
filter_module (shared)
mime_module (shared)
log_config_module (shared)

env_module (shared)
headers_module (shared)
setenvif_module (shared)
version_module (shared)
unixd_module (shared)
status_module (shared)
autoindex_module (shared)

dir_module (shared)
alias_module (shared)

What am I doing wrong?

First, check if mod_ssl.so was installed into <PREFIX>/modules/ during one of your build attempts.

If not, it presumably didn't find the OpenSSL prerequisite. (You may need to install a development package for OpenSSL.)

If it is there, load it in <PREFIX>/conf/httpd.conf with "LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so". (Presumably your httpd.conf was generated by an earlier build attempt that did not have mod_ssl enabled.)

hope to get some help, on the internet i didn't find any solution

thanks in advance
