Apache2 SSL
1. Create a self-signed certificate: Apache2 comes with the script
apache2-ssl-certificate
Note: It seems not to be documented at all (manpage?), so try --force and --days if your certificate has expired!
2. Create a new server configuration under apache2/sites-available
3. Enable the new site
cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
ln -s ../sites-available/new-site-name
4. Restart apache2
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
apache2-ssl-certificate
Note: It seems not to be documented at all (manpage?), so try --force and --days if your certificate has expired!
2. Create a new server configuration under apache2/sites-available
Listen 443
NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:443>
LoadModule ssl_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so
DocumentRoot /var/swww
SSLEngine on
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/ssl_error.log
</VirtualHost>
3. Enable the new site
cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
ln -s ../sites-available/new-site-name
4. Restart apache2
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
