Anyone who can help me with setting up SSL on Fedora 11.
All I want is access my webpage through

Code:

https://localhost/pdfs

Try here:

http://www.tc.umn.edu/~brams006/selfsign_ubuntu.html

That gets your SSL certificates for your host. You need to configure a Virtual Host in ssl.conf.

Chaitanya,

I was following the link till 3rd step upto:

Code:

# Remove old key & certificate
rm /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
rm /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt

# Generate new key with an EMPTY PASSPHRASE!
# Use "cd /usr/share/ssl/certs; make genkey"
# instead if you really need a passphrase
/usr/bin/openssl genrsa 1024 > /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key

# Set appropriate permissions
chmod go-rwx /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key

# Now create the new certificate                  <<<  See here
cd /usr/share/ssl/certs
make testcert

# And restart Apache
/sbin/service httpd restart

I dont have ssl directory under /usr/share.
Am I missing any package?
Does Fedora 11 have this by default?
I have already installed through:

Code:

yum install openssl*
yum install mod_ssl*

There should be a document on ssl integration with httpd in /var/www/manual/ssl.

This is for Fedora. You will need to read it.
