Please help BRAIN-DEAD Apache 2 admin???

[BobMCT]

While I've received several recommendations to "RTFM" and also apache sites, I have yet to find something that references what I am attempting to do.

I have apache version 2. installed and working just fine in virtually every respect. Now I need to install mod_ssl to allow it to function with SSL and CA's.

As the docs state I've downloaed and installed OpenSSL but I cannot get Apache to actually support SSL yet. Some responses stated that I must recompile Apache with the appropriate options, others state that Apache 2x comes with this already enabled. I try the httpd -l command to list the installed modules and it shows only ONE (which can't be true because other things run fine).

Can someone please items the steps necessary to:
1) determine if mod_ssl is already installed?
2) install and prerequisite modules?
3) actually get mod_ssl installed and running on Apache 2?

I have read this and similar quesitons on this forum several times with no real answers. Perhaps if someone took the time to provide a detailed response (assuming they've already run into and solved this issue) then it can be food for others to follow and become part of this forums archives and faq's.

Thanks for anyone who can and will take that time for fellow admins.

1) Check your [tt]httpd.conf[/tt] for any references to a SSL module.
2) None.
3) Just make the module that comes bundled with Apache 2. //Daniel
