Apache2

Activate ssl module

• a2enmod ssl
• Generate certificates, cf above or in short:
  • openssl req -config /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf -new -out mydomain.csr
  • openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out mydomain.key
  • openssl x509 -in mydomain.csr -out mydomain.crt -req -signkey mydomain.key -days 3650
  • openssl x509 -in mydomain.crt -out mydomain.der.crt -outform DER
  • Install mydomain.crt and mydomain.key in /etc/apache2/ssl/
• cp /usr/share/doc/apache2/examples/ssl.conf.gz /etc/apache2/sites-available
  • gunzip ssl.conf.gz
  • mv ssl.conf mydomain_ssl
  • strip it... TODO
  • SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/mydomain.crt
  • SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/mydomain.key
  • <~VirtualHost my_ip:443>
• /etc/apache2/ports.conf: Listen <my_ip>:443
• ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydomain_ssl /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

Older notes

Activate a module

• Find the module name, try

ls /usr/lib/apache/1.3/*.info|sed 's/^[^_]*_\(.*\)\.info/\1/'

• apache-modconf apache enable module name

E.g. apache-modconf apache enable libproxy

Setup proxy HTTP1.1 with Apache 2

• libapache2-mod-proxy-html

These are very old notes

• HtAccess
• ModMp3
• Webalizer
