RE: Apache 2 with mod_ssl for windows

Thanks for the info.

I was able to get a clean build from the apache and openssl source 
distributions last
night.

The apache site contains the following page which describes pretty well how to 
build the
openssl, and apache with mod_ssl directly from the source if you have the 
microsoft developer
studio.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/platform/win_compiling.html

I used developer studio 6 and was able able to get a clean apache build with ssl
using openssl 9.7e and the apache 2.0.52 source distribution along with the 
other
tools required for the build, i.e. perl, awk.

Couple minor issues I did run into were:

1) In order for the "mod_deflate" to compile, I had to use the zlib 1.1.4 
source distribution,
not the 1.2.2 which is the "latest" for windows.

2) The instructions for running the perl scripts to build openssl are a little 
unclear.
First you untar the openssl so that the openssl source tree is in the 
srclib/openssl directory.
You must cd into the the srclib/openssl directory, then execute the perl 
scripts as described.

3) On windows you can't execute the command.

perl util\mk1mf.pl dll no-asm no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-idea VC-WIN32 >makefile

It will overwrite the "Makefile" that is previously configured.

You must direct the output to another filename, e.g.
perl util\mk1mf.pl dll no-asm no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-idea VC-WIN32 >makefile.rel

then "nmake /f nakefile.rel" for the release build.

Other than this it went pretty well.

There are no pre-build ssl keys or certificates that I could find in the source 
distribution,
so I used the openssl.exe application to create a key and a (self-signed 
certificate) and droped
then add them as the conf/ssl.key/server.key and conf/ssl.crt/server.crt files.

Bill

I did following
1. Install Apache 2.0.52 for windows with out SSL.
2. Unzip Apache 2.0.52 with SSL in C:\programme\apche 3. copy mod_ssl.so in 
c:\programme\apache group\apache\modules 4. Command C:\programme\Apache -i - -D 
SSL  I was wondering there were errors coming from in c:\programme\apache 
group\apache2\conf\ssl.conf

After correcting the error in ssl.conf all is OK.I controlled it with openssl 
s_client -connect url:port

Betreff: Apache 2 with mod_ssl for windows


I've previously build Apache 1.3 for Windows with ssl support using mod_ssl so 
I'm familiar with this process.

I looks like I need to do it for Apache 2 as well because I didn't see the 
mod_ssl module in the windows pre-packaged install and the "no ssl"
at the end of the installer filename was a clue.

It looks like the mod_ssl source module is included with the apache source 
distribution.

I am just looking for any advice before I start building Apach 2 + ssl.
Are there any things to look out for not mentioned in the apache docs for 
instance?
Any references (other then the apache site) that would be helpful for building 
Apache 2 ssl would also be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill
