Uh --- nowadays you'ld want to use OpenSSL which is based in part on
the SSLeay stuff.
Anyhow, I'm afraid that to make an SSL enabled apache, you've got to
delete your original apache and re-install. There's two choices:
ports/www/apache13-ssl
This builds an apache httpd with the SSL stuff linked directly
into the main application. See http://www.apache-ssl.org/.
Somewhat more popular and what I personally prefer to use, (and
incidentally the basis for the bundled HTTPS support in apache2) is:
ports/www/apache13-modssl
whilst this looks like (indeed, *is*) a DSO type loadable apache
module (like mod_php4 etc.), it isn't the same as other loadable
modules It builds against a specially patched apache source tree. The
patches provide the 'EAPI' extended application programming interface
business that mod_ssl requires. It also has a dependency on a
portable memory management library 'libmm'. http://www.modssl.org/
Make sure you use a version of OpenSSL later than 0.9.6d --- either
install the OpenSSL port or run a recent version of -STABLE so you
don't get bitten by FreeBSD-SA-02:33.openssl
(ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-02%3A33.openssl.asc)
Cheers,
Matthew
