Hi

i use Apache Webserver 1.3.22 without SSL. Now i have the order to install SSL into the apache. I would not like to reinstall the whole apache. How can i insert the SSL modules afterwards into the existent apache installation ?

Thanks a lot for your answer

I believe that apache must be re-installed if you are using Apache-SSL or mod_ssl. Both these installations patch the apache source tree with their source code which is then built (inside the apache build). So no, AFAIK, you cannot install ssl without re-compiling apache.

These are the Apache with SSL products I've used and I cant think of any more... But building Apache is not the worlds hardest task...

Best of luck :)
