Apache Recompile对已安装的SSL的影响

Question

I have to recompile and install apache 2.4 to block server header in head request for a client but the client has recently purchased an SSL for about $400. Im not sure if the SSL can be used with a new version of apache if I recompile and install this on server.

Has anyone had any experience on this or any pointers that whether I can use existing SSL or will I be required to buy a new SSL for this client?

Answer 1

SSL certificates can be used across different versions of Apache -- even across different web servers such as nginx, and even for other programs entirely.

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ssl/ssl_howto.html for the current documentation on configuring SSL.

If you're upgrading from Apache 2.2 the configuration is probably identical.

A complete list of changes needed when upgrading from 2.2 to 2.4 can be found here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/upgrading.html
