SSL Configuration
Get a new certificate
from GoDaddy.com. They have the most
affordable certificates. You just need a standard one for
about $12 per year. Get the maximum life span for the certificate, since they are a pain to install.
You need to provide them with a csr file that you
created using openssl on your server. Go to /usr/bin and run
the following script:
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -out
www_vegetronix_com.csr -keyout www_vegetronix_com.key
-subj "/C=US/ST=Utah/L=Draper/O=Vegetronix Inc. /OU=Sales/CN=www.vegetronix.com"
The
documentation on the Go Daddy site was all wrong in regards to the
above script. I spent an hour on the tech support line, before he
was able to get the correct script above.
This creates two files called: www_vegetronix_com.key,
and www_vegetronix_com.csr
The csr is then pasted into their certificate manager
and submitted. They processes it which takes about 10 minutes
or less, and they send two files: gd_bundle.crt, and
vegetronix.com.crt.
Place these two files (gd_bundle.crt, and vegetronix.com.crt
that they create along with your key
file www_vegetronix_com.key into your appache conf directory.
Modify the httpd.conf file as follows:
SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/vegetronix.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/www_vegetronix_com.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/gd_bundle.crt
Restart apache and SSL should now work for the server.
