What is the ideal setup if you need to run Apache-SSL and a non-SSL
version of Apache on the same server? Can you run SSL and non-SSL with
the same software or do you need two installations of Apache: one for
SSL and one for non-SSL?

Thanks for any help.

Before you buy.

With mod_ssl and I think raven  you can use the same software. I'm almost sure other options are the
same.

apachectl startssl  starts an SSL version
apachectl start starts a NON-SSL version.

It very much depends on what you're trying to do.  If your SSL needs
are light, and they're going to staty light, it makes sense to compile
mod_ssl in as a shared module, and use one httpd.conf to manage
everything.  OTOH, a separate Apache+mod_ssl can be moved easily to
another server if things get out of hand, which could happen quickly
if ssl traffic becomes at all pappreciable since SSL traffic is very
CPU intensive.
