I am encouraged to hear about your successful upgrade. I have Apache13_fp installed which dates Apache back to 1.3.22_1 and alas there isn't any mod_ssl to simply install to what I already have. I suspect the older patch (mod_ssl-2.8.5) has problems since all traces of it have been removed from the "mod maker" modssl.org/. What was disconcerting was the fact they still had the link on the home page, but it led to nowhere.... There' s lot about recent security holes for exploits and I suspect the 2.5 patch has the bugs... the security guys on this list probably know about this. This is my first "hands-on" configuration of SSL to get up and HTTPS going and so am feeling my way along. Further, I thought one had to deinstall before install of Apache, etc. If not that solves a BIG problem and I can just upgrade and simply add the new mod_ssl 2.8.8. Apache isn't bad, but the FrontPage can be a real pain to successfully install no matter how nice you talk to it.... Please tell me this... did you just simply upgrade from ports....????? Appreciate the further info.... .... our website: http://www.sage-one.net/ Best regards, Jack L.
