Herald and Jeff, Thanks for the responses! I feel like I'm making progress. Here is what my modules directory looks like: /pt/apache/modules: total used in directory 24 available 35223120 drwxr-xr-x 3 maco staff 102 Jun 19 12:41 . drwxr-xr-x 14 maco staff 476 Jun 19 12:41 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 maco staff 9083 Jun 19 12:37 httpd.exp How do I create mod_ssl.so ? I sense that both of you have given me a good clue. I'll search the web for more clues. I know that a .so file is compiled software which suggests to me that I might be able to create it along the path I followed to install my copy of apache from the source code I obtained here: - http://download.nextag.com/apache/httpd/httpd-2.2.15.tar.gz I unpacked httpd-2.2.15.tar.gz to here: - /pt/tmp/httpd-2.2.15/ When I search - /pt/tmp/httpd-2.2.15/INSTALL For the word "module" I see this: Here is a typical example which configures Apache for the installation tree /sw/pkg/apache plus the two additional modules mod_rewrite and mod_speling for later loading through the DSO mechanism: ./configure --prefix=/sw/pkg/apache \ --enable-rewrite=shared \ --enable-speling=shared Question 1: - What is the DSO mechanism? Question 2: - Can I create mod_ssl.so using --enable-ssl=shared ? - If yes, what is the proper way to create and install mod_ssl.so after I have already finished my install from source ?
