RE: [users@httpd] configure: error: OpenSSL headers not found Apa che 2.0.58

["Schultz, Gary - COMM" <GSchultz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Initially, I had the same problem when I installed openssl in the default location, /usr/local/ssl. I decided to build apache with ssl installed in a non-default location and configured Apache to use ssl from this location. For example, configure openssl as such:

 

./config --prefix=/ssl --openssldir=/ssl/openssl --shared

 

run make, make test and make install.

 

Configure apache to build using openssl from your location, something like:

 

./configure --enable-so --enable-ssl --with-ssl=/ssl (plus any other options)

 

I think the key is the --with-ssl=(ssl directory) option. You probably could install openssl in the default location and set --with-ssl to that location and it should work.

 

Anyway, this gave me my first successful build of Apache 2.2.2 with ssl. Not sure if it is the best way to do this, but for now it works.
