I'd like to add SSL support, but I'm not sure of the best way to go about it. In: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-apache.html Specifically section 27.7.5.1, it mentions you can add ssl support with mod_ssl, but I don't see it in my ports tree. I also found this: http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/webserver/apache_ssl_php_mysql.php Which seems to suggest that I'd need to have installed the apache port /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl instead of the package apache-1.3.37_3. So, do I need to remove the apache-1.3.37_3 package (presumably with pkg_delete, as I think that's the cleanest way, please correct me if I'm wrong), and re-install from the apache13-modssl port, or is there in fact some way to just get mod_ssl and add to my existing Apache configuration? If both options are possible, is one better than the other? I'd prefer not to have to re-do my apache install, but if there's some compelling reason I should, I'm interested in knowing it. Also, when I've got it, I want users to have the option to use it, not be forced to (tinkering with a Squirrelmail webmail server here), so any information on that would be more than welcome.
