Mod-ssl and apache configuration question

[Kory Wheatley]

I have a project where I need to setup an Apache secure server. I have
an Apache non secure server already on my workstation. I don't want the
Apache secure server to run under the same daemon service, so I've
downloaded a separate Apache tar file.

This server also needs to run under a different user and group.

What is the steps of compiling Mod_SSL and DSO into Apache and under a
different server user. This setup will only be for a secure server and
no other virtual hosts.

If there's a step by step process to do this that would be really nice.

You don't need anything special to do this - just build apache with mod_ssl
and change the config so that you have it listening on port 443 only. Then
change User and Group to whatever user you want it to run under. That's
really all you need to do.
