Loading the mod_ssl Module
The mod_ssl module allows you to enable SSL support on your Apache web server and is needed to
enable Apache for SSL requests (https).
For more information on the mod_ssl module, see the mod_ssl user manual at
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8.
The bundled Apache that comes with Zend Server includes support for the ssl_module, but this needs to
be loaded in order to activate it. You must have acquired an SSL certificate from an SSL certificate
provider (e.g., http://www.slacksite.com/apache/certificate.html) or have created your own SSL certificate
for the mod_ssl to be loaded.

To load the mod_ssl module:
1. Open your httpd.conf file.
By default, this is located in:
Windows: \apache2\conf\httpd.conf
Linux/Tarbal: /apache2/conf/httpd.conf
2. Un-comment the following line by removing the "#".
Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
This calls the SSL configuration file.
3. Place your server.crt and server.key certification files in the 'conf' folder.
4. Restart the Apache server for the changes to take effect.
The mod_ssl module is loaded.
