Need to add/enable/install mod_ssl

Hi, experts:

>> Here are the environment configuration:
>> Web server: Apache/2.0.46 (Unix) mod_jk/1.2.4
>> Server: -HP-UX  
>> Tomcat: 4.0

I have a apache already installed (by other team, which doesnt know if there´s the module mod_ssl). The final purpose is to secure my current http to https. Already have all cerficates, with the directives in the conf files, and still the https url doesnt work yet.
I searched over all logs I could find, and didnt found any string "mod_ssl":(. So I guess I need to do something to enable, install it.

Saw in a link that I need to download the source in modssl.org, and other installation procedures as well. But the in my case is that I already have Apache installed, and need only to add/enable/install the mod_ssl module. Ok, now another question to be pointed out:
"Make sure any module for your Apache server is compiled with the    
        compiler-flag -DEAPI, or your Webserver might crash or can not be    
        started.                                                            
Almost all modules I know adds the -DEAPI flag by themself except mod_jserv
and mod_jk"

But my apache installed is mod_jk (my configuration >> Apache/2.0.46 (Unix) mod_jk/1.2.4). Should I supppose from this that in my case I dont have the DEAPI??? Not sure on what to do now. How will I check if it has DEAPI?

I keep doing searches over the net, but in case any of you has some hint and speed up a little bit on my side, it´ll be helpful.

Im kind of disorientated with all this thing of https. This´s the 1st time i get into it. So, ask for your detailed support.

Thank you!
Ingrid

All,

 I´m told that having the directives in httpd.conf

<IfModule ssl_module>
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
</IfModule>

means that my apache is configured with mod_ssl (thanks to the guy that told me so!)

Now the question risen up is how do I do to have my https working? As I mentioned below, already have all certificates and their directives configured.

Thanks for your attention.

Ingrid

David,

 that was what I thought earlier. But since I´m told this directive is for Apache 1.x, and not Apache 2.0 (which is mine), I wonder how differ the directive to include to httpd.conf. What I mean is that I think I hv the mod_ssl installed, but not enabled yet, and to enable, if it´s simply adding the directive´s in httpd file, and the exact syntax for version 2.0.
 Still searching for the solution.

Thanks

Ingrid

That doesn't sound right.

Don't you need a statement like this in your httpd.conf file?

   LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

The statements that you mentioned will do stuff /only/ if the ssl module
is loaded (that's what IfModule means -- If the Module is Present).

Dave and All:

Ok, now I know I can try the directives in my apache.
Althought by the directives SSLRandomSeed it´s indicating I have the mod_ssl installed, I checked and the files mod_ssl.so and mod_ssl.c are not in the paths indicated, not in libexec/, nor in module/.
How do I get those files?

Thank you.
Ingrid

I pulled that exact line from my win32 version of Apache 2.2.4.

Server Version: Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8d mod_perl/2.0.3 Perl/v5.8.8

another information: what I see in libexec/ is just "mod_jk.sl", and under modules/, just the file httpd.exp.
