Can one recompile the apache server and still have SSL in it? I am unfamilar with how the modules work with apache. So is it just a seperate object module that I can bind or have dynamicaly loaded when the server starts? So can I compile Apache 1.3.3 sources from www.apache.org and take the SSL module from Redhat Secure Server and now have a 128-bit SSL server? Thanks for the information, Robert

We aren''t allowed to ship it as a separate, dynamically loadable object. We will soon have an update package available which will be based on Apache 1.3.3, upgrading from Apache 1.3.1. --- -Preston Brown Red Hat Software, Inc. pbrown@redhat.com

I needed JServ (servlet) support in an httpd awhile back and I had to recompile to get it. Do I need to recompile to add JServ support to a RedHat Secure Server? Could this be done without recompiling? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon C. -- System Administrator jon@lightstream.net LightStream Internet, Incorporated ** http://www.lightstream.net (440)/269-2352 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do I need to recompile to add JServ support to a RedHat Secure Server?Can JServ be compiled as a DSO? No new features are ever going to be added to Secure Web Server 2.0, bugfixes only. So if you want this JServ module, you will have to be able to compile it as a DSO. --- Preston Brown Red Hat Software, Inc. pbrown@redhat.com

The only thing in the INSTALL and README with that talks about copying mod_jserv.c to the proper directory, putting in the AddModule line and recompiling. I guess I''m out of luck on this one :/ -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon C. -- System Administrator jon@lightstream.net LightStream Internet, Incorporated ** http://www.lightstream.net (440)/269-2352 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
