In the event that
you do need to support more than one SSL virtual host, replace * with the specific IP
address that you assign to that host.
See the ???Troubleshooting??? section earlier in the chapter for more information about the
Listen directive.
A CA generally provides you with a certificate file to place in ca.crt and sometimes
also provides you with a separate file that you will need to reference using a
SSLCertificateChainFile directive. The mod_ssl package also includes
/etc/apache/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt, which contains the certificates from
most of the well-known certificate authorities and can be referenced as long as the
appropriate CA certificate is included. When running your own CA, point this directive
to a file containing the public key from that CA. Omit this line when using a self-signed
certificate.
3. Test the Apache configuration and then perform a full restart:
# apachectl configtest
Syntax OK.
# apachectl stop
# apachectl start
4. Browse to https://servername/ and verify the SSL configuration. When using a
self-signed certificate, or one signed by a CA, you are asked whether you want to accept
the certificate.
Another option is the LAMPP project (www.xampp.org), which is an all-in-one LAMP
server with PERL support.
