Installation of apache self signed certificate

Step to Install Self Sign SSL on Apache

Step: – 1

Open your Apache configuration file in a text editor. Its location may be different, depending upon your operating system and Apache version, but generally you will find it at /etc/httpd/httpd.conf. In windows system, you will find it at

C:\Program Files\Apache\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf

Step – 2
Mostly, you will find the <VirtualHost> blocks in a separate file in a directory like /etc/httpd/vhosts.d/ or /etc/httpd/sites/.  Add the lines in bold below.

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:443>

DocumentRoot /var/www/website

ServerName www.domain.com

SSLEngine on

SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/crt/primary.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/crt/private.key

SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/crt/intermediate.crt

</VirtualHost>

Step – 3
Modify the file and path names to match your certificate files. Save the changes and exit the text editor.

Step – 4
Restart your Apache web server using one of the following commands:

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart
