Step 1: Generate a Private Key
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
Step 2: Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
Step 3: Remove Passphrase from Key
cp server.key server.key.org
openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key
Step 4: Generating a Self-Signed Certificate
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
Step 5: Installing the Private Key and Certificate
cp server.crt /etc/apache2/ssl/
cp server.key /etc/apache2/ssl/
Step 6: Configuring SSL Enabled Virtual Hosts
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl//server.key
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
CustomLog logs/ssl_request_log \
"%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b"
Step 7: Restart Apache and Test
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
