Installation of Self Signed SSL in Ubuntu

gistfile1.txt

### Commands that need Execution

- sudo apt-get install apache2 && a2enmod ssl && service apache2 restart && mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl
- sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key -out /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt

In the second command you can change the number of days. Here is one year only.

From The questions you see after executing the second command the most important is the "Common Name". I personally put my static ip there.

- sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf

#### Do those changes

ADD -> ServerName YOURIP:443
MAKE SURE ITS NOT COMMENDED OUT -> SSLEngine on
ALTER THOSE LINES -> SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
                     SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key
Save & Exit

- sudo a2ensite default-ssl && service apache2 reload

DONE!
