Config SSL Certification on my Droplet

Posted August 8, 2014

Hello I follow the tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-ubuntu-12-04 to configure my SSL Certification, but when I try to reload my Apache Service it can’t be possible, I see the directory of certification and only see a file called ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem but the file ssl-cert-snakeoil.key not exist. How I can create it and reload my apache service well?

Check Step Three of that article. To generate a self-signed cert the following command is used:

sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key -out /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
