Branden Wagner Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 First off, What is your OS? Linux? if so what flavor(distrobution) windows? then your outta luck - i cant help youif you are running sometihng like Debian ( personal recommendation)[code]apt-get install opensslapache2-ssl-certificatea2enmod ssl/etc/init.d/apache2 reload[/code]then you need to add[code]Listen 443[/code]to /etc/apache2/ports.confthen add:[code]SSLEngine onSSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem[/code]to all your virtual hosts that require it.and you have just successfully installed opensslThe above setup is a problem if you are not the owner of the server or rather if you do not have full access to the config files.What do you need to use it for?
