Hi everyone,

I'm trying to configure SSL on my Apache server. Using apt-get I did did
an 'apt-get install libapache-mod-ssl' but the installation apparently
didn't go smoothly because apache wouldn't restart. I replace httpd.conf
with the one I was using before the upgrade and I was back online.

I just want to know if what I did *should* have worked. Presumably, I
would have to go in and set some apache directives to actually begin
using SSL.

Well I don't know if apt-get edits apache's config file or not, but under
normal curcumstances this is required, but usually done/taken care of when
mod_ssl configures the apache source tree. Might want to just build this one
the old fashioned way,
but thats me. I don't care for the package stuff for the most part, unless
it's an experimental thing and I need it quick, fast and simple. For the
real world, I'd just as soon build/config it myself. Sometimes you can even
learn something from those silly docs.  :)
