I hope this gives you an idea of how to implement an SSL certificate on your Apache Web server, so URL is accessible over HTTPS.Downloading the AMPPS version and be patient while it downloads as the file is Before go-live, you may also want to test your web server SSL/TLS to ensure it’s not exposed to common security vulnerabilities. The above steps are essential for setting up an SSL certificate, and you must tweak the SSL further to harden and secure which I explained here. Once done, try to access your domain with HTTPS.Īnd as you can see, Chandan.io is accessible over https with the certificate I configured. Save the file and restart the Apache WebserverĪnd finally, you got to ensure your domain is mapped to the newly configured web server IP.Usually, it’s your domain/URL name ServerName chandan.io Next, you need to configure the “ ServerName” directive. SSLCertificateKeyFile '/usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl/private.key' SSLCertificateChainFile '/usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl/ca_bundle.crt' SSLCertificateFile '/usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl/certificate.crt' Take a backup if needed and use the vi editor to modify the file.Tip: you may want to create a new folder called “ssl” and keep all the certificate-related files in this. SSLCertificateChainFile – ca_bundle.crt file path.SSLCertificateKeyFile – private.a key file path.SSLCertificateFile – Certificate CRT file path which you downloaded earlier.There are the following you need to ensure it exists the right parameters. We will use nf file to configure the certificate details. Open the file with the vi editor and ensure mod_ssl module & nf exists and not commented.Take a backup of nf file (default location /usr/local/apache2/conf/).Apache SSL ConfigurationĪnd a final step would be to configure Apache so it can serve the request over HTTPS. Transfer the downloaded file to the Web Server. Ca_bundle – Signer root/intermediate certificate.Certificate – actual SSL certificate for your domain.key – this is your key file and shouldn’t be shared with anyone publicly.You will get three files that we will use next to configure the Apache webserver. Verify the domain ownership by one of the listed methods and download your domain certificate files. There are multiple ways to generate CSR, but the easiest one I found is using the “ SSL For FREE” online tool. I will use Let’s Encrypt to get one certificate for my domain – Chandan.io

Setup ampps free#

Let’s Encrypt is a Linux Foundation Collaboration Project who offers a FREE SSL/TLS certificate.

However, if you are looking to secure an Internet-facing URL then either you can buy a certificate from VeriSign, GoDaddy, Namecheap, ZeroSSL, etc., or get a FREE cert from Let’s Encrypt. But you still need to generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request), and you can do it using OpenSSL. If you are looking to implement SSL in the Intranet web server, then most of the organization has an internal certificate issuer team, so you got to check with them. There are multiple ways to generate and get the SSL cert signed by the certificate authority. This concludes you have installed an Apache web server with SSL support.

makeĪs usual, ensure no errors from the above commands.

Setup ampps install#

Note: If you are doing this is on a brand new server then you may experience issues related to APR, PCRE, OpenSSL and you may refer the troubleshooting guide.Įnsure you don’t get any error from the above configure command and next you got to install with make commands.

Go inside and execute the following configure command.

You will have a new folder “ httpd-2.4.25”.

Gunzip -c httpd-2.4.25.tar.gz | tar xvf. Note: you can check here for the latest version.

Login to Linux server with root and download the latest version of Apache.

I’ll use CentOS 7 VM from Digital Ocean to demonstrate this. To configure SSL, Apache HTTP must be compiled with mod_ssl.

Compile Apache HTTP 2.4.5 with SSL module.

On a high-level, we will do the following. Once the certificate is implemented, the configured domain/IP will be accessible over HTTPS. Let’s secure Apache with SSL/TLS certificate.
