Help with SSL
I'm looking for a good guide on how to set up SSL using Apache 2.0.39.
The docs I've found at Apache.org and mod_ssl.org are not clear to me.
If anyone has a good step-by-step reference or is willing to discuss in
detail with me how to set up SSL, please share! :-)
Thanks!
Michael

You can look at the uncommented directives in ssl.conf. IIRC, I was able
to get things working just by putting in the correct key and certificate
file names.
To start the server with SSL use: apachectl startssl

What is the syntax to enable SSL after Apache has been installed?

I haven't done this in a while so this is a good excerise...
Enabling ssl in Apache is a virtual noop these days. Download the
OpenSSL source from openssl.org and build:
./config --prefix=/usr/local
make
make test
make install
If all goes well, then build Apache 2:
./configure --enable-module=ssl
make
make install
A decent description of creating a cert request to send to an authority
can be found here:
http://www.thawte.com/certs/server/keygen/apachessl.html
(I'm not affiliated with nor suggesting you do business with Thawte.
I've just found this document useful in the past.)
I think at this point, the SSL docs on the Apache site will become more
useful. Particularly this'n: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ssl/
Note that there will be an Include in httpd.conf for the ssl.conf that
contains SSL config directives. Just a matter of uncommenting the needed
ones. Lots of doco in this file as well.
Post specific questions to the list as they arise.
