SSL on Apache2 in Ubuntu

[JurkMonkey]

I'm having some issues getting SSL enabled on an apache2 server in ubuntu.

Does anyone have a simple walkthrough of how to get this working? All the ones I have found require apache2-ssl-certificate but Ubuntu does not have this with the default install.

Thanks

Neither does any other distro. You need to buy one from one of the CAs (Certificate Authority) or generate one yourself with openssl.

OPENSSL Key

openssl genrsa -des3 -out myserver.key 1024

Self signed certif

openssl req -config ./openssl.cnf -new -key myserver.key -x509 -out pes.crt

Check server

openssl s_client -connect 172.31.0.120:8443 -prexit

Create certif request
openssl req -new -config ./openssl.cnf -key myserver.key -out myserver.csr

You can either make a self-signed or 'real' certificate from like versign or digicert ($99). Then download the cer file and link them to your server configuration file. then restart server.
