Install SSL

Recently I am building an online image stock, need to implement a payment system. It took me ages to figure it out how to get SSL installed and run in Apache2. I can hardly found any proper documents for the configuration. Well most of them are out of day. Here I like to share my experiences for someone who has the same problem.

Web Server Speciafications:

Apache 2 + Linux Red Hat Enterprise + OpenSSL

Here was the link includes the instructions http://www.dev411.com/wiki/Installing_Apache2_SSL

Sadly found:

  • The offical website of Apache not even have proper info for installing mod_ssl and make it working with openssl
  • Openssl has no info for installing CA

I love open-source software, but sometimes they can be unwell documented.
