How to configure Apache with openssl?

1) Download the following softwares from sunfreeware.com

db-4.2.52.NC-sol10-intel-local

expat-2.0.1-sol10-x86-local

gcc-3.4.6-sol10-x86-local

gdbm-1.8.3-sol10-intel-local

libiconv-1.11-sol10-x86-local

zlib-1.2.3-sol10-x86-local

openssl-0.9.8k-sol10-x86-local

apache-2.0.59-sol10-x86-local

2) Install the softwares. The above apache compiled with ssl support. So no need to install mod-ssl package or compile and install apache. All the packages are data stream packages. Just use the below command to install the software.

pkgadd -d

3) Once everything is installed configure apache. (sun01 is the server name)

vi /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines

Listen 80

ServerName sun01:80

DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs"

NameVirtualHost *:80

IfModule mod_ssl.c> Include /usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl.conf

DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs ServerName sun01 ErrorLog logs/sun01-error_log CustomLog logs/sun01-access_log common >

4) Edit the ssl.conf file. (vi /usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl.conf)

Listen 8443

DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs" ServerName sun01:443 ErrorLog /usr/local/apache2/logs/error_log TransferLog /usr/local/apache2/logs/access_log SSLEngine on

SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/server.key

5) Now start apache with ssl. It will start successfully

/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl startssl

6) Check the secure connection from windows browser. (sun01 -> servername 8443 -> ssl listen port)

https://sun01:8443

7) Copy hello.html file to document root directory and try to access the following link.

cp hello.html /usr/local/apache2/htdocs

https://sun01:8443/hello.html

8) The above link will display hello.html.

9) Apache has been configured with openssl.
