- Problem compiling Apache 2.0.47 with mod_ssl
- Posted by Madhusudan Singh on August 8th, 2003
Hi
I am trying to build a secure webserver. My ./configure :
An error occurs during configuration (not a fatal error, but it is the
cause of modules/mod_ssl.so not being created):
checking for extra modules... cp: cannot stat `mod_ssl': No such file or
directory
../configure: line 12305: modules/mod_ssl/modules.mk: No such file or
directory
added mod_ssl
My configure directive :
../configure --enable-so --enable-cgi --enable-vhost-alias --enable-suexec
--enable-ssl --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-module=mod_ssl
Replacing --with-module=mod_ssl with --with-module=ssl leads to other
errors. Is this a bug in the configuration file ?
Thanks,
MS

You do need to perform a "configure" on the mod_ssl source, which tells
it where the Apache source is, and lets it apply it's patches (see
http://www.modssl.org/example/). The errors you've received seem to
indicate that you skipped that portion, but from the extremely limitted
information you've given us, there's no way to be sure.

Indeed, I did not undertake that step. However, mod_ssl needs to be version
matched to Apache. My apache version is 2.0.47. Has mod_ssl been released
at all for Apache 2.0 or greater ?

Pretty amazing then. I wonder why does Apache 2.0.47 (claimed as a
"production" version) come with all the options for SSL setup when the
tools for those are absent and considering the version numbers of mod_ssl
supported Apache, are likely to remain absent for a long time.
