Hi, Well what you can do (and what i would prolly do..) is deinstall your old apache installation (backup your httpd.conf _AND_ other data you think is/consider nessecary to backup, before doing a pkg_delete or make deinstall depends on package or port i think). After that install the apache+modssl package/port, diff your new httpd.conf with the old one and merge them (where they differ, kinda like mergemaster..) and startup apache :-) _NOTE: Once i did a portupgrade of a default apache installation, which writes a default apache content to /usr/local/www/data.default (the 'your installation is succesfull' page). Well make sure that it doesn't overwrite your just newly built website! ;-) I was fortunate enough that it was only one .php file.. but it could have ended allot worse.. so watch out.. don't take any changes when you do not want to lose your data.
