Self Cert SSL certificate for Apache2 on Ubuntu 8.04LTS
Generate a self cert certificate:
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/certificates-and-security.html
Create a new virtual host (you can only have one SSL virtual host / IP)
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/ssl
Edit ssl sothat it looks like this:
NameVirtualHost *:443
ServerName webangle-www1.everyangle.co.uk
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/
SSLEngine on
SSLOptions +StrictRequire
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/server.key
Finally, if you want to force redirect of all traffic to a certain folder via SSL (e.g, /phpmyadmin), add the following to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
#Redirect traffic to /phpmyadmin through https
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule ^/phpmyadmin(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/phpmyadmin$1 [L,R]
Enable it:
sudo a2ensite ssl sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
