I'm a bit confused on how to setup Apache-SSl. We already have a
functioning Apache web server and want to add SSL to it. Now here are the
questions:
1. Is the normal installation to have Apache-SSL replace the
non-SSL httpd service and provide both SSL and non-SSL service or do we
run two servers at the same time Apache and Apache-SSL?
2. The installation left me with a directory /usr/local/etc/httpd/conf
which contains srm.conf, access.conf, httpd.conf and mime.types. These
appeared to be normal Apache conf files. It also left me with
/usr/local/etc/httpd/SSLconf/conf which contains access.conf, fdd948c7.0@,
httpd.conf, mime.types and srm.conf. Access.conf and srm.conf are supposed
to be empty (which they are) and httpd.conf has the SSL configuration
lines. I have no idea what fdd948c7.0 and why it is linked to
/usr/local/etc/ssl/conf/httpsd.pem.
- So what is fdd948c7.0?
- And are the conf files in SSLconf/conf supposed to be copied into
/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf to replace the original Apache stuff? And, if
so, is the httpd.conf file suppoed to be expanded to include all the
directives from our srm, access and httpd.conf files.
By the way, the install and make test went fine and we prepared a
certificate request to Thawte which went fine and now we are trying to
get the server working.
Thanks for the help.
