Uninstall mod_ssl & OpenSSL
Hi all,
I have a dedicated server for hosting my personal sites, not for business.
I would like to get ride of the mod_ssl, and OpenSSL on Apache 2.0, since I don't use them, and wont use them in the future, and wants to make the server clean and light as most as I can.
Should I remove the "mod_ssl" files from apache source and recompile it or what? what about OpenSSL? how can I get rid of it too?
I run CentOS 3.0 with Apache 2.0.54, using DirectAdmin control panel.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you.

You can uninstall openssl easily since it is a rpm package installed in the centos servers. You may need to recompile apache without mod_ssl and thats the only way to uninstall that.

You cannot uninstall openssl. You need it for things like openssh and wget, etc.
To remove mod_ssl you can tell the directadmin installer not to compile mod_ssl by modifying the configuration file.Steven Ciaburri | Industry's Best Server Management - Rack911.com

hi,
If you need to uninstall your Red Hat Linux Secure Web Server, use these commands (as root): rpm -e mod_ssl, rpm -e openssl.Bright Info Solutions

As thelinuxguy pointed out, you need openssl for other programs such as openssh, wget, etc. So I would suggest just removing mod_ssl.
