Ok for Apache....i have apache2 and i want to configure ssl support nad dont know what to do. i have looked around and nothing seems to help me. i ahve installed mod_ssl. The SSH lagging is really gettin on my nerves. I have only logged in from a winblozs computer using puTTY and my keystrokes are lagging really bad and i was editing a webpage and it was so irritating. Any ideas on how to fix this? My mail question is what to use? Squirrelmail or what. Its just basically for personal(good achievement) purposes so that i will know how to configure it, but i want to be able to set up login on my website and have other people accounts and stuff like that. maybe use pop3. Any reccomendations is good.

mod_ssl is only for apache 1, apache 2 has ssl support built in if you have +ssl in your use flags

Hmm. Really? I see references to mod_ssl in apache2 config files. And why doesn't ssl show up with emerge apache -pv? I'm still trying to figure out how it all works.
Code:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] net-www/apache-2.0.48-r1 [2.0.48] +berkdb +gdbm +ldap

This site http://www.informit.com/isapi/product_id~%7B671AE0C6-78CE-45D9-928E-4A603897EA75%7D/element_id~%7B47BADE63-75BB-410F-8317-EAB0F6181F55%7D/st~%7B3975F324-BD32-4096-B98A-7E4979DE6CCF%7D/session_id~%7BFE4A9980-E6E5-48FD-AB44-F15DBFAEEFE1%7D/content/articlex.asp
has info about setting up ssl for apache2. I believe you need to emerge openssl also.

I've just played with my system, and did the following:

Uncomment
Code:
APACHE2_OPTS="-D SSL"
in /etc/conf.d/apache2

Run /usr/lib/ssl/apache2-mod_ssl/gentestcrt.sh to generate self-signed cert and key, and copy the two files to /etc/apache2/conf/ssl. If you need externally signed (eg Verisign etc) for proper public use, then follow the instructions in the docs here:
file:/usr/doc/apache-2.0.48/manual/ssl/ssl_faq.html.en#keyscerts

That's about it! :)

That is correct. It is Apache2 requires that openssl be installed, whether it's loaded or not.

'-D SSL' needed in /etc/conf.d/apache2

Certifcates provide the security guarantee though, so you'll need to set those up with a Certificate Authority, or self-sign at least.
