Help plzzz...install openssl on WinMe

[Anon]

I am a php newbie,, how can I install openssl and modssl on Windows Me?

I don't know about linux command, but I am quite familiar with msdos.
I have a copy of gzip, but I don't know how to use it.
I am have visual c++ 6.0 installed, but I don't know what these are all about:

              Configure OpenSSL

==================================
cd openssl-0.9.6c
perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:/openssl
ms\do_ms

              Compile OpenSSL

==================================
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\progra~1\DevStudio\VC\bin;c:\progra~1\devstudio\SharedIDE\bin;
set INCLUDE=c:\progra~1\devstudio\vc\include
set LIB=c:\progra~1\devstudio\vc\lib
nmake /f ms\ntdll.mak

---

And what I am trying to emphaize here is that, I don't know about all the stuff as I mentioned above. Could it be possible to let me configure OpenSSL under msdos mode?I am willing to learn the step-by-step guidelines for OpenSSL compilation in Visual C++(how do I start)

Currently I have:

Apache Server
MySQL
Active State's Perl
OpenSSL
Mod SSL
Gzip

Visual C++ 6.0

Thank you very much for your kind efforts on my behalf.

ssl has nothing to do with php. you can get precompiled latest versions from http://www.modssl.org/contrib/

I got there apache 1322 with openssl and modssl module and 1323 with a newer version of modssl. ssl works fine, after I created a certificate in a dos box under windows 98. There are many sites, which explain how to do that. as far as the directives for httpd.conf are concerned, put this inside (change paths and ports and switch off re-writing if not necessary):

Listen 81
Listen 443
BindAddress *

LoadModule ssl_module C:/programme/server/apache1323/modules/mod_ssl.so

SSLMutex sem
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLSessionCache none
SSLLog logs/SSL.log
SSLLogLevel warn
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:443>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot C:/programme/server/apache1323/ssl
AccessFileName htaccess
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.php3 index.htm index.cgi index.pl index.asp

<Directory "C:/programme/server/apache1323/ssl">
Options ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes

#

This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",

"Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".

#

Note that "MultiViews" must be named explicitly --- "Options All"

doesn't give it to you.

#

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

#

This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can

override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo",

"AuthConfig", and "Limit"

#
AllowOverride All

#

Controls who can get stuff from this server.

#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /zope/$1 [l]

SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile C:/Programme/Server/Apache1323/conf/ssl/my-server.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile C:/Programme/Server/Apache1323/conf/ssl/my-server.key
</VirtualHost>
