Questions about security.

[Russell Power]

You need to download a SSL enabled mod to patch into Apache.  The one I
normally choose is modSSL.  It's free, and you can get it at www.modssl.org.
It has very detailed example instructions on how to setup everything to work
properly.  Essentially with the default installation you end up with a
virtual server listening on 443 which responds to SSL requests.  Any
information can be accessed through SSL just be using https instead of http
in your pages.

It also has some scripts to help you setup for creating certs or using your
own.
