Hello mod_ssl'ers!
I'm trying to compile Apache 1.3.6 with OpenSSL 0.9.3 for mod_ssl 2.2.8
support on a RedHat Linux 5.2 out-of-box install. It looks like the
out-of-box Apache was a binary-only install (I can find no source from
prevous install on the box) to RedHat paths (which appear to be quite
different from the usual Apache paths). I am not as familiar with this
RedHat Linux & Apache configuration setup as I am SCO Unix & Netscape
FastTrack. I am following the INSTALL (mod_ssl for Unix) instructions from
the website to the letter. However, I've ran into a little problem.
All works fine until I get to #5 in the INSTALL instructions, where it says:
"Now apply the mod_ssl source extension and source patches to the Apache
source tree. Configure the apache sources and build Apache with mod_ssl and
OpenSSL"
So I cd to the mod_ssl directory & run
"./configure \
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.6 \
--with-ssl=../openssl-0.9.3 \
--with-rsaref=../rsaref-2.0/local \
--prefix=/usr/sbin/apache" (I'm guessing here on the "prefix" setting.)
I then get the error
"Error: Cannot find SSL header files under /u/brian/SSLwork/openssl-0.9.3
./configure:Error: APACI failed"
and the install stalls. Below are some questions I have & the output of the
mod_ssl configure script when it runs. Can anyone help me out or point me
in the right direction to some more docs? Multiple web searches haven't
helped yet & I can't find a mention in the docs.
QUESTIONS:
==========
* Why can't configure script find OpenSSL header files?
Permissions are 777 all the way down & .h files appear to be in correct
place.
Where SHOULD the OpenSSL header files be? Is this an OpenSSL problem?
* What should setting of "--prefix=" be?
What does it mean, prefix of path to present "httpd" Apache executable or
what?
* RedHat 5.2 Apache paths seem weird compared to default Apache paths.
Could they be a problem? Here they are...
- Currently my Apache "httpd" binary is at "/usr/sbin/httpd", not "" as in
man pages for httpd.
- Currently my Apache configuration files are at "/etc/httpd/conf/*.conf",
instead of the default (according to httpd man pages) of
"/usr/local/apache/conf/*.conf"
- Currently my Apache modules (like "libperl.so" & "mod_auth.so") are at
"/usr/lib/apache" (also linked from "/etc/httpd/modules").
