Hi Andy.Process basically include getting/creating a certificate, define it on your site and reload apache. here is a centos manual which is not exactly the same on ubuntu but pretty much explains the order of things
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Https
on ubuntu you will have to open the 443 port
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Listen 443
</IfModule>
once the https is ready, you can do a redirect to the https site from
http. (with mod_rewrite)
do you have logs or any information on what is not working? Oren On 04/03/2014 11:39 AM, Andy Canfield wrote:
I have been using apache for maybe ten years now, and maintain two servers in addition to the apache on my notebook computer for testing. All using Ubuntu Linux *.04 LTS. It now appears that I ought to convert from http to https. But the documentation is insane. A piece here, a piece there, have to do X (but first? and afterwards?). Assuming everything is else is OK, this is way you edit this line in VirtualHost file (there is no "/etc/apache2/.../VirtualHost" file!) I figure that I need to do it in two steps: [1] Get the https version up and running, and [2] Make the http version automatically switch to https. But I can't get https working at all, for anything. There's a "Listen 443" in /etc/apache2/ports.conf but 'nmap localhost' says 443 is a closed port. Has anybody else ever converted a hosted site from http to https? What did you have to do to get the secure one working? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
