  • 1.  Digital Cert on Apache 2.2

    Posted Aug 28, 2016 12:03 AM

    one of our customers has installed two servers of catalog and an Apache 2.2.25 and needs Balancer publish on the Internet the apache Balancer through access with SSL digital certificate.

    I have dealt with Reference Guides apache but every time I try to start apache service this fails, ie within the area <VirtualHost> httpd.conf add the lines:

        SSLEngine on
         SSLCertificateFile "/path/to/www.example.com.cert"
         SSLCertificateKeyFile "/path/to/www.example.com.key"

    Has anyone configured apache ssl digital certificate?

    Is the ssl module uncommented (leading # sign removed) in httpd.conf as follows:

     

    LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

     

    If this is already uncommented, what is the error returned when you try to start the service?

    Are there any errors in Apache2.2\logs and/or the Windows Event Viewer Application or System logs?

    Jason's right.  Depending on the steps/configuration, Apache's SSL implementation might end up with some errors which are forcing it not start properly. Apache logs will be of critical importance here to understand why its not working.

    Did  you also import the cert of SDM into your keystore referenced there and make sure that all the chain is valid?

    if you try to load your host with an invalid cert. Apache will fail to load..
