hi,
the mod_ssl module is loaded in /etc/apache/httpd.conf so it should be enabled.
other modules, like PHP, server-info & server-status also work fine ...
only problem is that the httpd.conf is write-proteced (linked), so i copied it to alt.conf, edited that file and enabled the modules i wanted and used "apache -f /etc/apache/alt.conf"
i searched around a bit and found this :

it seems you need to install a certificate to enable SSL ??

I tried various other things, including creating a certificate, was not able to get it to work on port 443 using SSL yet.

Ok,
I got it working after this:
I used the (installed) libapache-mod-ssl package to create certificates.
Go to /usr/share/doc/libapache-mod-ssl/examples
Unzip gid-mkcert.sh.gz and run it.
Fill out all the fields, and a bunch of server.* and ca.* files will be created in the current directory.
(remember the pass phrases you use).
Copy the .key files (ca.key and server.key) to /etc/apache/ssl.key
Copy the .crt files (ca.crt and server.crt) to /etc/apache/ssl.crt
Copy the .crs files (ca.crs and server.crs) to /etc/apache/ssl.crs
Add the following to /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Code:
Listen 80
Listen 443
And:
Code:
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
DocumentRoot /var/www
ServerName My.server.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@my.server.com
ErrorLog /var/log/apache/ssl_error_log
TransferLog /var/log/apache/ssl_access_log
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.key
<Files ~ "\.(cgi|shtml|php)$">
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Files>
<Directory "/cgi-bin">
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Directory>
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
CustomLog /var/log/apache/ssl_request_log \
"%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b"
</VirtualHost>
Restart the httpd server:
Code:
/etc/init.d/apache restart
You will be asked for the RSA pass phrase.
Regards,
IKK
