Unlike, say, mod_perl or mod_php, mod_ssl is unfortunately rather a
special case in that it's more than just a DSO that you can load into
a previously compiled apache httpd. The mod_ssl install actually
makes some quite wide ranging patches to the underlying apache source
-- as well as mod_ssl, you also get mod_define and EAPI.
You're going to have to deinstall your current apache and install the
www/apache13-modssl port instead, plus once you've done that you
should reinstall any other apache DSO's you may be using. If you're
using portupgrade, you'll find that you have to run 'pkgdb -F' every
so often to convince the odd port that it depends on apache13-modssl
rather than plain apache13, but otherwise apache13-modssl is pretty
much a drop-in replacement for plain apache13.
Make sure you backup your existing httpd.conf and your document tree:
it should be a fairly routine job to merge any customizations from
your old httpd.conf to one with the SSL stuff included.
Cheers,
Matthew
