[cobalt-users] SSL problem after installing cURL

["Andy Clyde, oxfordmusic.net" <cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i have installed cURL on one of my servers and recompiled PHP to include
cURL. i am now getting problems with https pages.
when i connect to https://ns.myserver.com/test.php, i get 'page cannot be
displayed' error and the httpd/error log shows:
[notice] child pid 32360 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
i can connect to my server admin GUI via https and to
http://ns.myserver.com/test.php fine.
i have a self-signed SSL cert on my master domain (ns.myserver.com). i tried
restarting apache and it seemd to go fine. on restart apache returns:
Apache/1.3.20 Sun Cobalt (Unix) Chili!Soft-ASP/3.6.2 mod_ssl/2.8.4
OpenSSL/0.9.6b PHP/4.3.1 mod_auth_pam_external/0.1 FrontPage/4.0.4.3
mod_perl/1.25 configured -- resuming normal operations
i installed OpenSSL/0.9.7b in a non-standard location as part of installing
cURL but from the shell i get:
[root] openssl
OpenSSL> version
OpenSSL 0.9.6b [engine] 9 Jul 2001
OpenSSL> quit

any ideas?

cheers
