I have answered my own question on this one. mod_ssl is in the MPM packages. I had messed up SuSE magic module loading system, so it was failing to find mod_ssl. For info I anyone else tries it. You need to hand edit /etc/sysconfig/apache2 and add "ssl" (minus the quotes) to the APACHE_MODULES variable and "SSL" (minus the quotes) to the APACHE_SERVER_FLAGS variable. The will cause the <IfModule mod_ssl.c> directive in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to include the /etc/apache2/ssl.conf file. You can edit the /etc/apache2/ssl.conf to suite your preferences.

Where can I find a mod_ssl for SuSE 8.1 Apache2. All the docs say that it is included in the base distribution of Apache2. However if I list the contents of the rpm on my system (apache2-2.0.48-126) it is not shown! If I include any ssl configuration commands in my apache2 setup (e.g. SSLEngine on) then I get an error saying that the module is not loaded, therefore it is not permanently linked into the apache2 base. The only separate rpms I can find for mod_ssl are for apache1 which has a different module API. I can see from other messages that other people have got this to work. So any help would be gratefully accepted. Thanks Roger
