https://
 

I was wondering how i can implement ssl with apache. I am running slackware (just installed, i changed nothing) and i downloaded and installpkg'ed mod_ssl-2.8.24_1.3.33-i486-1

I looked through many sites i have found with google, but all told me something different, and most of them were only about advanced configuration....

How can i get apache to server the site (or only parts of the website) with https:// ?

Thanks

This is a good "howto", especially for Windows - but also for Linux admins:

Other good links include:

There's an "INSTALL" doc that comes with your mod_ssl ... but I wouldn't blame you a bit if you found it unhelpful.

Please look at the above links and give it a shot.

Please post back if you have any questions or run into any problems. And please post back to let us know how things went!

OK, i installed everything, as described here: http://www.modssl.org/example

The links you provided were of partial help, but i still didn't succeed. I was not really able to "translate" the windows stuff to linux.

When i try to start apache, it only wants to run in normal mode. The ssl/https simply won't work. It gives no error message, but doesn't create the process.

By the way, how can i install other modules to a apache/ssl combo, such as php or mysql support???

Thanks

by the way, what does PSM stand for?

i also tried to installpkg

but i have not figured out, how to get apache to "do https", yet. I have not changed anything in the config files yet, either.
