I'm looking for a good guide on how to set up SSL using Apache 2.0.39.
The docs I've found at Apache.org and mod_ssl.org are not clear to me.
If anyone has a good step-by-step reference or is willing to discuss in
detail with me how to set up SSL, please share! :-)
Thanks!
Michael
I haven't done this in a while so this is a good excerise...
Enabling ssl in Apache is a virtual noop these days. Download the
OpenSSL source from openssl.org and build:
./config --prefix=/usr/local
make
make test
make install
If all goes well, then build Apache 2:
./configure --enable-module=ssl
make
make install
A decent description of creating a cert request to send to an authority
can be found here:
http://www.thawte.com/certs/server/keygen/apachessl.html
(I'm not affiliated with nor suggesting you do business with Thawte.
I've just found this document useful in the past.)
I think at this point, the SSL docs on the Apache site will become more
useful. Particularly this'n: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ssl/
Note that there will be an Include in httpd.conf for the ssl.conf that
contains SSL config directives. Just a matter of uncommenting the needed
ones. Lots of doco in this file as well.
Post specific questions to the list as they arise.

What is the syntax to enable SSL after Apache has been installed?

You can look at the uncommented directives in ssl.conf. IIRC, I was able
to get things working just by putting in the correct key and certificate
file names.
To start the server with SSL use: apachectl startssl
