Install Apache and configure SSL under Windows

Step 1: Configure Apache to support SSL

Find the following two lines to remove the previous comment #

LoadModule Ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

Step 2: Generate the certificate and private key file for the Web server

C:Program filesapache Software foundationapache2.2bin>openssl genrsa-out server.key 1024

Generate a Server.key

Step 3: Generate the signing request

C:Program filesapache Software foundationapache2.2bin>openssl req-new-out server.csr-key ... Confopenssl.cnf

The signature file SERVER is generated at this time. DS5

Step 4: Use OpenSSL to generate the CA private key

C:Program filesapache Software foundationapache2.2bin>openssl genrsa-out ca.key 1024

More Ca.key files

Step 5: Use the CA's private key to generate a self-signed certificate for the CA

C:Program filesapache Software foundationapache2.2bin>openssl req-new-x509-days 365-key ca.key-out ca.crt-config .. Confopenssl.cnf

Step 6: Create a new Democa directory under the Bin directory, and under Democa, create a new index.txt,newcerts,serial directory structure as follows

Democa

|--index.txt (text, empty content)

|--newcerts (folder)

|--serial (text, Content 01)

Step 7: Prepare to sign the certificate for the Web server

C:Program filesapache Software foundationapache2.2bin>openssl ca-in server.csr-out server.crt-cert ca.crt-keyfile C A.key-config.. Confopenssl.cnf

Generating SERVER.CRT files

Step 8: Copy the SERVER.CRT Server.key to the Conf folder

------------------Configure SSL FAQ---------------------

Win7 System 64 bits in the configuration process, there may be a problem restarting Apache

Problem 1:apache reboot failed, error message syntax error on line of C:/Program Files (x86)/apache Software foundation/apache2.2/conf/extra/ Httpd-ssl.conf:

Sslsessioncache:invalid Argument:size has to be >= 8192 bytes

Solution:

Change the 61-63 lines in confextrahttpd-ssl.conf to the following Sslsessioncache "Dbm:c:/program Files (x86)/apache Software Apache2.2/logs/ssl_scache "

# Sslsessioncache "Shmcb:c:/program Files (x86)/apache Software Foundation/apache2.2/logs/ssl_scache (512000)"
