Enabling OpenSSL in PHP w/ OS X Server?

[dreadnought]

I've spent the morning trying to figure out how to enable OpenSSL in PHP w/ OS X Server and have found other people with the same problem, but no solutions.

 

Any ideas on how to do this?  I'm concerned about compiling PHP from scratch as I found some Apple technotes about that possibly breaking some things with MySQL.

 

I'm running OS X Server 10.4 w/ the latest updates and was advised by a PHP forum software vendor that my PHP lacked OpenSSL support.

 

Thanks!

You should be able to compile openSSL without recompiling all of php. Just download the php source find the openSSLsource directory (somewhere in ext) and run....

 

$ cd openssl/source/dir
$ phpize
$ ./configure --enable-options
$ make

 

if all goes well this will generate an *.so file, you then simply need to move this file into your php extensions directory and restart Apache.
