Re: Could I have some help on installing Apache SSL

[charlene lee <charlenelee55@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your guess is absolutely correct! I am running Linux Slackware 10.2.

Where could I get hold of a copy of "openssl-dev package" and the "SSL library" please? Could I find them on the www.openssl.org website?

You mentioned "Ubuntu". Do you mean www.ubuntu.com? 
 
Also if I want to implement digest authentication after installing Apache.

 

Is it necessary to include the "--enable-auth-digest" directive during the Apache configuration process?

 

e.g.

 

./configure --enable-auth-digest --prefix=/home/httpd --enable-ssl --enable-module=so

 

What if I failed to include the "--enable-auth-digest" directive during configuration process? Will it be still possible to implement digest authentication after the installation?

 

If I go to the ubunto website and found the files indicated by you:

 

libssl
libssl-dev
openssl

 

Are they compatible with Linux Slackware 10.2?

Does it have a compatibility problem with any particular version of Linux, Apache, PHP and mySQL? 

 

Do you by chance happen to know which version of PHP works best with which version of MySQL?

 

Thanks in Advance.
