Hi All,

Is there a way to query Apache to determine if mod_ssl is compiled?

it could be compiled but not loaded, so first of all, check if it's
compiled built-in (httpd -l should tell), otherwise check if mod_ssl is
in the module's directory (the 'root' dir is reported by httpd -v,
and then the module's directory is reported in the config file).

Thanks for responding so quickly Davide. httpd -l doesn't even list
mod_ssl.c. And having revisited the httpd.conf (after your post
jarred the cobwebs loose), I see that its *.so file isn't being loaded
and it's not in the %ServerDirectory%/modules directory. I'm thinking
that, though SSL should be on this server, it isn't. So, knowing very
little about all this, where can I find a compatible version of
MOD_SSL for Apache 2.0.58? Since 2.0.58 is already installed, can
MOD_SSL be added to the installation somehow? Also, if I have a
mod_ssl.so file on another box, could that be copied and used in
another similar environment?

What if you add a 'LoadModule' directive to the httpd.conf to load it
and then run a apachectl configtest to see? If ain't there, it will
tell you right away.

In the binary distribution for your OS, if it exists, otherwise you'll
have to compile it.

If the OS/Libraries are the same, yes. In any event, you can try
to put the module in the modules directory and try to load it by
adding the LoadModule directive. If there are problems, the configtest
procedure will tell you.

The easiest way is to install a distribution which
includes it out of the box, like XAMPP
