Hello,

I'm pretty new to this.
The system is redhat es 4.
I compiled apache 2.2.3 using src.
I used to use the rpm version that it came with so when creating a certificate for the website, I'd just do genkey hostname cmd and it was a breeze.

I compiled apache by using:
./configure --prefix=/ --enable-so --enable-ssl

make && make install

How would I go about generating key/cert when apache is compiled? I tried openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out server.crt -keyout server.key and openssl genrsa ... and let's me go through all the steps but after restarting apache, still cannot connect using https. Can only connect using http.
Not sure it's b/c it needs mod_ssl? I went to mod_ssl but it only supports apache 1.x.x but I need to use the latest one.

Thanks.
