Re: Setup help
mod_ssl is pre-packaged with with RH 7.1. The config items are in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, starting with: SSLEngine on When you say your "super cert" I'm guessing you mean your server cert. You need to put that cert in the /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt directory (and then run the 'make' command there), and then put your cert's corresponding private key file in the /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key directory. Then, in your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, you need to edit these two lines to point to your new cert and its key: SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/your-thawte-server-cert-filename.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/your-thawte-cert-private-key-filename.key Then, run /etc/init.d/httpd restart You should be able to see your default home page using https://your.site.name/ rather than http://your.site.name/ Warren Macken wrote: I have RH 7.1 server with Apache 1.3 installed and running,I need to get SSL up and running.I have mod_ssl downloaded and ready to install but I want to check what the is the best procedure first.1: Where do I install mod_ssl and how do I configure to incorporate the super cert.
