how to enable ssl_module apache

Question

I'm using WAMP on my PC for a project and I need to enable the ssl_module because I need to send emails through Gmail's SSL SMTP...

I know how to enable it (uncomment or using WAMP interface check/uncheck) but neither of my changes work... even if I restart the server..

Any help?

Probably you read that smtp.gmail.com requires TLS or SSL. If you enable mod_ssl in your Apache config, your webserver can handle https requests (that is http with SSL encryption). However to send emails you have to use a different protocol like SMTP or IMAP. So mod_ssl won't help. What programming language do you use for this project, PHP? Then take a look at Send email using the GMail SMTP server from a PHP page .
