\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\nFor an SSL encrypted web server you will need a few things. Depending on your install you may or may not have OpenSSL and mod_ssl, Apache’s interface to OpenSSL.<\/p>\n

Use yum to install following, if centos<\/p>\n

======================
\nyum install mod_ssl openssl
\n======================<\/p>\n

Use apt-get to install following, if ubuntu<\/p>\n

========================
\napt-get install apache2 apache2-common;
\n========================<\/p>\n

Now run following command in ubuntu to enable mod_ssl<\/p>\n

================
\na2enmod ssl
\n================<\/p>\n

Yum will either tell you they are installed or will install them for you.<\/p>\n

2. Generate CSR & purchase SSL
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\nGet it done as per following KB article.<\/p>\n

[ article:832 ]Generating CSR for Customers & Guidelines for SSL installation requests<\/p>\n

3. Create \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/example.com.conf, if centos.<\/p>\n

If ubuntu, create \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/example.com. Now, run following command.<\/p>\n

================
\na2ensite example.com
\n================<\/p>\n

Now, add following contents in \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/example.com.conf or \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/example.com.<\/p>\n

==============================
\nNameVirtualHost 192.168.1.56:443<\/p>\n

ServerAdmin admin@example.com
\nDocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/example_www\/
\nServerName server1.example.com
\nServerAlias www.example.com
\nErrorLog logs\/example.com-error_log
\nCustomLog logs\/example.com-access_log common<\/p>\n

Allowoverride All<\/p>\n

NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.56:443<\/p>\n

SSLEngine on
\nSSLCertificateFile \/etc\/ssl\/example.com.crt
\nSSLCertificateKeyFile \/etc\/ssl\/example.com.key
\nSSLCACertificateFile \/etc\/ssl\/example.com.ca<\/p>\n

Allowoverride All
\nServerAdmin admin@example.com
\nDocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/example_com_www\/
\nServerName server1.example.com
\nServerAlias www.example.com
\nErrorLog logs\/example.com-error_log
\nCustomLog logs\/example.com-access_log common
\n===============================<\/p>\n

Make sure following.<\/p>\n

(i) IP 192.168.1.56 is replaced with correct IP address
\n(ii) example.com is replaced with correct domain name
\n(iii) document root is \/var\/www\/html\/example_com_www\/<\/p>\n

3. Create \/etc\/ssl\/<\/p>\n

4. Save Cert, Key & Intermediate CA as given below.<\/p>\n

Cert: \/etc\/ssl\/example.com.crt
\nKey: \/etc\/ssl\/example.com.key
\nIntermediate CA: \/etc\/ssl\/example.com.ca<\/p>\n

\/etc\/init.d\/httpd restart [ centos]
\n\/etc\/init.d\/apache2 restart [ubuntu]<\/p>\n

5. Access website using https:\/\/192.168.1.56:443 and ensure that it is working fine.<\/p>\n
