Apache 2 has native ssl included so no mod needed. If you want php support in your apache, then simply install the /usr/ports/www/mod_php(4_5) port. DONE.. here is an excerpt from a google search: "I recommend lang/php4 When you install it should come up with a menu allowing you to choose your options (GD support, CLI, etc). After it is done, it will tell you what to add to your httpd.conf file to get .php files working (apache restart required). To test, make a file like: <?php phpinfo() ?> " "Just a quick note. /usr/ports/lang/php4 also includes command line interface beside the apache module. if you only need mod_php, you can cd to /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 instead/" Aaron Martinez
