I'm trying to set up apache2 for SSL.
Did not find anything in the /usr/share/docs for apache2 related to
ssl so I'm thinking the SSL stuff is pretty much up to me.
It is just a matter of enabling the module and configuring to operate
how you want.
Do I have to generate the Certs or are they generated during
installation?
IIRC, apache2 ships the the snakeoil certificates. However, don't
want
to actually use those for anything. The SSL howto at tldp.org details
how to create your own certificated authority, create a certificate
request and then generate and self-sign the certificate. If you are
setting this up for personal use, that is all you need. If this is
some
sort of e-commerce or other site where users will be thrown off by an
untrusted CA notification in their browsers, then you will need to
buy a
certificate.
How do I specify http:80 and https:443?
Using Listen directives.
