recompile apache using --with-ssl

Is the source available so xampp apache can be recompiled? I need to do this as a workaround to fix a mod_wsgi/django/python problem. Yes, I know this is another 'stack', but I do also have php apps running as well. The answer may be, "Don't do that." If so, let me know.

TIA
Phil

xampp 1.7.7 centos5.7

Personally, I would say "Good Luck" with little to no sarcasm. I don't quite get why PHP is seen as a hurdle to running a traditional LAMP stack either. However, its all Open Source, so you are free to do as you will.

There's a developer download on the Linux page. You are basically on your own at that point.

Development package 35 MB The development package contains all files you need if you want to compile other software packages for XAMPP by yourself and the Unix manual pages. Install this package like the normal XAMPP distribution:
tar xvfz xampp-linux-devel-1.7.7.tar.gz -C /opt
MD5 checksum: 594c61beac23868bd358bc0c31fbf1d7

OK, Good Luck, and let us know how it turns out...

I don't see apache sources or patches in the development package. Mostly just header files for compiling -other- applications agains xampp. Not sure I understand the build environment either. I can't grep apache sources in the build directory either.

AFAIK, XAMPP/LAMPP is compiled from unmodified Apache Software Foundation source - The Apache source is available here -

Good Luck
