Apache2 and self-compiled openssl

Dear group,

I am a newbie on apache. I need to install a self-compiled openssl
version (for some reason), more precisely, I need to convince apache to
use my self-compiled openssl version.

I am running an ubuntu minimal-installation server, together with
packages apache2 (includes ssl-support) and php5. Openssl version 0.9.8e
is installed on my system, and a call of a phpinfo();-page says that
apache uses openssl 0.9.8e.

I have downloaded the source of openssl 0.9.8g, and compiled it according
to my requirements. However, now I'm stuck: I cant figure out how to
convince apache to use this newly compiled openssl version.

As I said, I'm a newbie on this. I haven't been able to find a suiting
HOWTO on the web as well, so any help (e.g. an explanation how to solve
my problem, or a link to some HOWTO-page etc.) is really appreciated...!

Best regards!

This is the configure command I used to create Apache 2.2.8 makefiles on
Solaris 10 from source:
../configure
--prefix=/usr/local/apache2
--disable-userdir
--enable-rewrite=shared
--enable-ssl=shared
--with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl
--enable-proxy=shared"
--enable-proxy-http=shared
--enable-proxy-balancer=shared
--enable-info=shared
--with-mpm=worker
--with-included-apr

Note the "--with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl" which specifies where I installed
openssl.

HTH,
Jim
