[cobalt-users] after open ssl install

[Clayton McGow <mrwilder@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

	I'm confused by the SSL thing. I'm running a Raq2. Suppose
I choose to install OpenSSL by using it's easiest default
install procedure.

	My understanding is that installation would create some
directories and encrytption libraries, but NOT cause Apache
to respond to SSL conection requests.

	Here's what I THINK I would have to do:
	
1) In order to run a secure httpd I would need to tell
httpd.conf to listen 443 after installing SSL 
2) I need to get a certificate from thawte and place it
(whatever "it" is) in SOME folder
3) I need to tell Apache which documents to secure and which
ones to not, probably by placing secure documents in a
certain directory and then informing Apache where to look
(somehow)
4) I need to restart apache

OK, it should be obvious enough that I'm totally lost. I
don't suppose anybody wants to guide me through the steps,
although that would be really great... short of that, can
any body point me to a tutorial that's targetted somewhere
between pre-school and brain surgeon?

	Yes, I would rather buy BroSoft... too poor.
