I've been trying to add mod-ssl to my apache2 (2.2.4) install and have been having problems with the configure stage.
I am compiling everything from source. I compiled openssl from source using the defaults, so it is located at /usr/local/ssl. I then tried building apache2 adding the option --enable-ssl. However, the configure bombs complaining it could not find the headers for ssl. I can't see any provision for including the path to openssl.
What am I doing wrong?? Any help appreciated. |

...of course 2 seconds after posting 
--enable-ssl --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl
...would it be unreasonable to suggest that apache documentation is not the easiest? |

| Yes, the docs for httpd are not made for newbies. |
