If you have mod_so already compiled in, you can do dynamic loading. Then with apache 2.2, mod_ssl is just an extension module as part of the main distro. You should just be able to compile it and then "LoadModule" it. Check the INSTALL file in the distro for instructions... If you don't have mod_so (ie, you have a statically compiled apache), then you'll need to recompile the whole server with mod_ssl in the mix.
