FreeBSD 5.1 - Problem with post-installation configuration of apache13-mod_ssl

[Erik Hollembeak]

Hi,

Just decided to make the venture into the world of FreeBSD by 
installing 5.1 off the mini-iso. I have installed the base distribution 
+ perl from the ports and am currently trying to get apache13 with 
mod_ssl working. This has usually been a trivial task, but I've been 
unable to make any progress, despite the so far wonderful 
documentation. Any assistance that could be provided would be 
wonderful. Below is my error message and uname -a output.
