OpenSSL implementation... what am I missing?

HelIo,

I have been working really hard on installing an OpenSSL certificate so my web-app can show the beautiful “HTTPS” in the URL, but it is not working.

I used this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-ubuntu-14-04

I have a Linux VPS with Ubuntu 14.04 and Apache 2.4.7.

These is what’s been done so far:

1.- Enable SSL module:

sudo a2enmod ssl

2.- Restart Apache:

sudo service apache2 restart

3.- Create SSL directory inside de Apache2 directory:

sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl

4.- Execute the following command to create a self-signed ssl certificate :

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

5.- Fill in questions:

Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:US State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:New York Locality Name (eg, city) []:New York City Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:Your Company Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Department of Kittens Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:your_domain.com Email Address []:your_email@domain.com

6.- Configure apache to utilize ssl:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf

7.- Modify the following data:

ServerAdmin admin@example.com ServerName my_domain.com ServerAlias www.my_domain.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key

8.- Enable “default-ssl.conf” file:

sudo a2ensite default-ssl.conf

9.- Restart Apache again:

sudo service apache2 restart According to what I have read that should be all… what am I missing??

Thank’s in advanced.
