Getting CSR key for SSL Cert

Posted on June 6, 2014

Hi

I’m have a problem after generating the code

– I followed instruction on https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-ubuntu-12-04

– the issue is the when I click on the link, the file gets downloaded instead of opening in a web browser

Generating a SSL certificate wouldn’t lead to this. This has to do with how Apache is handling php files. First make sure that the php mod for Apache is enabled: <br> <br><pre> <br>sudo a2enmod php5 <br>sudo service apache2 restart <br></pre> <br> <br>If that doesn’t resolve the issue, please paste your Apache configuration so we can help debug the problem.

If you are trying to issue an SSL, please read some CA Documentation, they’ll provide some code references to do so. <br> <br>In other hand, if you generate a SSL and have problems when open in http vs https, then you must check your configuration for VirtualHosts and patch it to open correctly with port 443 (Secure). <br> <br>VirtualHosts, apache conf, other stuffs: <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts

Thanks guy.

I can’t run - sudo service apache2 restart

anymore…

I get the following error <pre> apache2: Syntax error on line 210 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Action ‘configtest’ failed. The Apache error log may have more information. …fail! </pre> Grrrrrr…
