Bug#234591: apache2-common: ssl.conf incomplete
Package: apache2-common
Severity: normal
The contents of the default ssl.conf are not sufficient to allow the
establishment of an https connection.
/usr/share/doc/apache2/examples/ssl.conf.gz contains a very near
complete sample ssl.conf, and requires only minimal changes to make it
functional. It seems to me that this example ssl.conf should be
installed by default.
If the intention is not to fully enable ssl by default, then perhaps an
apache2-ssl package could be created to handle ssl.
As for the parts of the sample ssl.conf which need to be changed, the
only critical change is to specify the correct file for
SSLCertificateFile. This should, by default, point to the certificate
file created by apache2-ssl-certificate.
The only other potential changes are DocumentRoot, ServerName
ServerAdmin, ErrorLog, and TransferLog. All of these could be commented
out in ssl.conf, as they have probably been set elsewhere.
