Ok

So I installed Apache `httpd` a while ago and have recently come back to it to try setup SSL and get it serving several different tomcat servers.

At the moment I have two completely separate Tomcat instances serving up to slightly different versions (one for dev and one for demo say) my web app to two different ports:

* `example.com:8081`
* `example.com:8082`

I&#39;ve successfully (back in Jan) used `mod_jk` to get `httpd` to serve those same Tomcat instances to `http://www.example.com:8090/dev` and `http://www.example.com:8090/demo`  (8090 cos I&#39;ve got another app running on 8080 via Jetty at this stage) using the following code in `httpd.conf`:

    LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
    JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties
    JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log
    JkLogLevel debug

    &lt;VirtualHost *:8090&gt;
        JkMount /devd* tomcatDev
        JkMount /demo* tomcatDemo
    &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;

What I&#39;m not trying to do is enable SSL.

I&#39;ve added the following to `httpd.conf`:

    Listen 443
    &lt;VirtualHost _default_:443&gt;
        JkMount /dev* tomcatDev
        JkMount /demo* tomcatDemo
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile &quot;/opt/httpd/conf/localhost.crt&quot;
        SSLCertificateKeyFile &quot;/opt/httpd/conf/keystore.key&quot;
    &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;

But when I try to restart Apache with `apachectl restart` (yes after shutting down that other app I mentioned so it doesn&#39;t toy with https connections) I continuously get the error:

&gt; Invalid command &#39;SSLEngine&#39;, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration. httpd not running, trying to start

I&#39;ve looked in the `httpd/modules` dir and indeed there is no `mod_ssl`, only `mod_jk.so` and `httpd.exp`.

I&#39;ve tried using yum to install `mod_ssl`, it says its already installed. Indeed I can locate `mod_ssl.so` in `/usr/lib/httpd/modules` but this is NOT the path to where I&#39;ve installed `httpd` which is `/opt/httpd` and in fact `/usr/lib/httpd` contains nothing but the `modules` dir.

Can anyone tell me how to install `mod_ssl` properly for my installed location of `httpd` so I can get past this error?
