After activating SSL with a self-signed certificate for one of the virtual sites on our RaQ4, I am getting the following error when trying to restart httpd

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
Shutting down Web Service: httpd
Setting up Web Service: mod_perl: Invalid command 'SSLengine', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration /usr/sbin/httpd

When trying to access the site with https://, it just hangs... no Page Not Found error or anything.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Yes that's correct. You are enabling SSLEngine On, without defining SSL. To do this, you need to add a module include. Here is an example:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>

DocumentRoot "/home/www/whatever"
ServerName www.whatever.com
ServerAdmin admin@whatever.com
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log

SSLEngine on
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/server.key
SSLCACertificatePath /etc/ssl/certs
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ca.crt
SSLCARevocationPath /etc/ssl/crl
SSLVerifyClient none
SSLVerifyDepth 10

SSLOptions +ExportCertData +StrictRequire
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
SetEnvIf Request_URI \.gif$ gif-image
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/ssl_request_log \
"%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b" env=!gif-image
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>


Note, this isn't the best way to do this.

when i do a "locate mod_ssl"... nothing is returned... am i missing this file?

there are two mod_ssl files, but no "mod_ssl.c"


locate mod_ssl:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/auto/Apache/include/modules/ssl/mod_ssl.h
/usr/libexec/webmin/apache/mod_ssl.pl

i finally got ssl working on the root cobalt site... after enabling ssl and generating the certificate, the cobalt gui responded with a message "SSL has been reconfigured"... shortly after, it was working on all sites.
