installing SSL certificate

scorpioy

Could someone give me some references about installing SSL certificate to the website using Apache on Windows and Unix/linux (seperately)?

Thanks

Hi,

check these links:

http://slacksite.com/apache/certificate.html

You can use certificates created with OpenSSL on Linux/Unix with Apache on Windows, so I'd suggest to create the certificates on Unix/Linux even if you want to use them with Apache on Windows.

The urls above also show what to add to httpd.conf in order to activate the certificate and they show you how to create a self-signed certificate for testing purposes.

Feel free to post if there are questions remaining.

btw ... are the Apache installations SSL enabled (Apache-SSL or mod_ssl or ....)?

I don't know. How do I enable them?

I am quite a newbie in this field. So it seems there are different kinds of SSL exist. Could you introduce me a bit more about these?

Thank you.

Thank you.

This tutorial should show you what to do:

Besides that there's a complete SSL enabled WAMP package available here.
