New page

Lets first start by making sure that mod_ssl is installed.

We are setting up this free ssl on apache/mod_ssl

==Step 1 - Install mod_ssl==

yum install mod_ssl openssl

Yum will let you know if the software has already been installed on the server

==Step 2 - Generate your private key / CSR File ==

Generate your private key first

openssl genrsa -out briansnelson.com.key 2048

Now lets generate the CSR file

openssl req -new -key briansnelson.com.key -out briansnelson.com.csr

This step is optional - Generate a self-signed SSL certificate

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in briansnelson.com.csr -signkey briansnelson.com.key -out briansnelson.com.crt

==Step 3 - Get your Free SSL Certificate for 90 days==

cat briansnelson.com.csr

You will need that output to order your Free SSL

Now visit http://www.comodo.com/e-commerce/ssl-certificates/free-ssl-certificate.php

==Step 4 - Add to your vhost file ==

<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/briansnelson.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/briansnelson.com.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/briansnelson.com.ca-bundle
<Directory /path/to/your/site/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
DocumentRoot /path/to/your/site/
ServerName briansnelson.com www.briansnelson.com
</VirtualHost>

==Step 5 - Configure Firewall to allow port 443 ==

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/service iptables save
iptables -L -v

Now your site is ready to accept credit cards or server content on Facebook pages
