How to properly install and configure mod_ssl on RHEL 4?

[Olaf Greve <o greve axis nl>]

Hi all,

Just like a few weeks ago, I had to configure a webserver which is 
running on an HP Proliant machine with RHEL 4.

All this is done, but this time we also need to add SSL to the machine, 
and I have no experience yet in how to properly configure it. What's 
worse: I myself have no time to do so, so a lesser experienced colleague 
of mine has to do it.

I have added the mod_ssl package using up2date, and Apache 2 is also 
running (and it picks up the mod_ssl module), as evidenced by the following:

rpm -qa | grep ssl
xmlsec1-openssl-1.2.6-3
openssl-0.9.7a-43.1
mod_ssl-2.0.52-9.ent

rpm -qa | grep httpd
httpd-2.0.52-9.ent
httpd-suexec-2.0.52-9.ent

Now, can someone tell me how my colleague can properly configure mod_ssl 
for Apache 2?

If this is more complex than just some standard steps, then perhaps 
someone knows of a good tutorial?

Thanks in advance, and with kind regards,
Olaf
