Upgrade from non_ssl to ssl possible?

Hi all,

I undertook an old Win-Server 2008R2 System with a httpd 2.2.25 win32
non_ssl.
I know it's outdated. But before we can switch to a new system we need to
have https on the current machine.
Is there any way to upgrade the system without losing all its configuration?
A fresh installation is not possible because of other outdated
dependencies I could not reinstall.

best regards

Tobias

Sounds a bit risky to me. An option could be to put an SSL offloaded in
front of it.

Regards, Lars.

Thx for your answers.
I now installed the current version of httpd with openssl on the same
machine configured to only listen on 443 and act as an TLS proxy.
It works nice.
Thank you all
