No binary version of Apache 2.X is available with mod_ssl support. true (sort of ... but) I am providing binaries (preferred) http://hunter.campbus.com/Apache_1.3.27-Mod_SSL_2.8.12-OpenSSL_0.9.6g-Win32.zip http://hunter.campbus.com/Openssl-0.9.6g-Win32.zip http://hunter.campbus.com/Apache_2.0.43-OpenSSL_0.9.6g-Win32.zip or (limited bandwidth) http://tor.ath.cx/~hunter/apache/Apache_1.3.27-Mod_SSL_2.8.12-OpenSSL_0.9.6g-Win32.zip http://tor.ath.cx/~hunter/apache/Openssl-0.9.6g-Win32.zip http://tor.ath.cx/~hunter/apache/Apache_2.0.43-OpenSSL_0.9.6g-Win32.zip > 3. Compiling Apache source requires MSVC 5 false - I do not want to split hairs but it is built with MSVC 6 Also, I think Apache can be built with Cygwin and Mingw32 but I have not done either yet. I have Mingw32 compiling simple Win32 applications on my Debian Linux box and will be trying eventually to build the Apache binaries from Linux (cross-compile). Currently I use MSVC 6, MASM, Cygwin(Bison,Flex,Awk), and Perl to build Apache. Where I am employed I distribute as many as 20,000 Apaches - my Win32 binaries - they are compiled with SSL but not configured to use it. > > I've found several links (thanks primarily to "hunter" for links and > instructions) to downloading SSL executables built for Windows, and am > starting to play with them.

I did not do it that way since I have all of the other tools. I think you should give both Mingw32 and Cygwin another look. > Thanks, > > Paul Christmann > hunter ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
