How to install SSL on Apache2 for Ubuntu 14.04?
I have purchased my certificate from Namecheap, and they gave me .crt and .ca-bundle
I’ve followed this tutorial:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-ubuntu-14-04
But it doesn’t work, does anyone know why I still can’t access https://mydomain.com?
At this point, I’ve gone through so many tutorials from DigitalOcean whether needed or not because the tech support always give me a tutorial link without knowing what my actual problem is.
Some of the modification I’ve made were from these tutorials:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-14-04https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-ubuntu-14-04

the SAVE QUESTION button can’t be clicked.... can’t edit my question. Anyway just wanted to add:
At this point, I’ve made many modifications to my files following the tutorials from DigitalOcean. There are some more modifications I made that were actually for Ubuntu 12.04. So, my files could be corrupted and I did not keep track of what changes I had made
Maybe post a few things:
your website.conf
your domain you are trying to get working
where do you have the crt and ca bundle stored
It is probably just simple config setting somewhere, but difficult to tell without more information.
Hi,
the domain I’m trying to get working is limantara.me
I store limantara.me.ca-bundle, limantara.me.key, limantara.me.csr, and limantara.me.crt in /etc/apache2/ssl/
Here’s the current limantara.me.conf that is stored in /etc/apache2/sites-available :
Looks like you got it working.
Yup, I eventually did
It would be great if you could share your own solution. I’m sure it would help the next person that has the same problem.
The error was just because the .key file mismatched the .csr I used to activate the SSL certificate. I finally knew what’s wrong after reading the Apache error log file.
