Ssl – Can’t run ssl – apache

Apache2ssl

I am trying to install SSL certificate for apache. I have already modified httpd.conf, where I uncommented this line

Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

I have also modified this httpd-ssl.conf file. Now, when I want to run ssl by command

apachectl sslstart

I get this error

The startssl option is no longer supported.
Please edit httpd.conf to include the SSL configuration settings
and then use apachectl start.

Could someone help me? It seems that I have to forgotten for something, but I didn't find any other lines in httpd.conf relate to ssl

As you see in the error you get the 'starssl option is no longer supported. Try to execute:

apachectl start

If it's barking that 'SSLCertificateFile' is a invalid directive, then you don't have mod_ssl loaded. You need a line somewhere in your config that looks similar to this:

LoadModule ssl_module   libexec/apache22/mod_ssl.so

(That particular line is from a FreeBSD box, so it's unlikely to work without minor modification)

You should usually put the SSL information in the vhost's directive; but a very simple site could go something like this:

ServerName example.com

Listen 80
Listen 443

LoadModule ssl_module   libexec/apache22/mod_ssl.so
LoadModule the other modules go in here...

User www
Group www

DocumentRoot /path/to/site

SSLCertificateFile /path/to/cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key
SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/chain

<VirtualHost *:443>
    SSLEngine on
</VirtualHost>

This is what the config for my person site looks like (plus some security, logging, and other junk like that).
