Re: 2.0.58 compiled - forgot to/need to --enable ssl

As far as I know, if you install openSSL, that actually configure apache to
use SSL. But I never tried that (so, don't shout at me if it does not work,
ok?).

And if you want to install apache again, thats pretty simple. Just do the
whole installation process once again. This time make sure to include the
switches. This will simply overwrite the old files and you will be able to
get it up without any further trouble.

(Please remember, I do not take any responsibility for the free advice I
give ;-)  )
