<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the basic instructions:<\/p>\n
Login to your server, and su to root<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
install modssl and openssl<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The next Large step is to generate a self-signed certificate<\/p>\n
create a Private Key<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
done<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
now you must generate the CSR, or Certificate Signing Request<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fill in all the necessary fields, this will be different for almost every scenario<\/p>\n
Finally, Generate a Self-Signed Certificate for the Life of the Server, 365 days * 7 (allowing up to 7 years)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
you should see signature OK<\/p>\n
now copy the necessary files to the appropriate directories:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now all we have to do is set-up Apache to use the certificates:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Edit the Apache SSL.conf<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Comment Out Line 105, and add 106<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
now do the same for 113 and 114<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### The following parameter does not need to be modified in case of a self-signed certificate. ### ### If you are using a real certificate, you may receive a certificate bundle. The bundle is added using the following parameters ### SSLCertificateChainFile \/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs\/example.com.ca-bundle (reference below)<\/p>\n
now restart apache<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the webserver should now be able to use HTTPS.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n
