Background: Confused virtual server vs non-vertual server My http LAMP is up and running fine. I did get certificates from StartSSL!

Did you edit your Apache2 httpd.conf or ssl.conf file fror SSL server on Ubuntu 12.4 droplet?
-
Can you give me an example of your exact addition to the file for Ubuntu 12.4 you made like this example from SartSSL: https://www.startssl.com/?app=21
-
Ubuntu dose not use /usr/local/apache can you tell me what you used?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
These instructions came from StartSSL. https://www.startssl.com/?app=21 To configure a default SSL/TLS aware virtual server, you should add at least the following lines to your httpd.conf or ssl.conf file. I am not doing virtual servers just one website do you do it the same way regardless?
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
Listen 443
<VirtualHost default:443> DocumentRoot /home/httpd/private ErrorLog /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log TransferLog /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log SSLEngine on SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM
SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key

CustomLog /usr/local/apache/logs/ssl_request_log
“%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x "%r" %b”
</VirtualHost>
I know the basics of encryption and how it works but not how to install a Certificate on a server. Unfortunate it seems I need some had holding. Here is a list of the file name I got from StartSSL:
Files I have to work with I got from StartSSL: First three are exports from browser-client to get back into StartSSL site: Builtin Object Token:StartCom Certification AuthorityFiles I have to work with-first three are exports from browser-client certificates to get into StartSSL Builtin Object Token:StartCom Certification Authority Builtin Object Token:StartCom Certification Authority Builtin Object Token:StartCom Certification Authority G2
Others I got from signing up ssl.crt ssl.key Downloaded from install apachee instructions on the StartSSL site: https://www.startssl.com/?app=21 ca.pem sub.class1.server.ca.pem

The lines: <br> <br>SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt <br>SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key <br>SSLCertificateChainFile /usr/local/apache/conf/sub.class1.server.ca.pem <br> <br>assume you downloaded the files to those locations. Just replace them with the paths you really used. For instance if you put them in /etc/apache2/ it would look like: <br> <br>SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt <br>SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key <br>SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/sub.class1.server.ca.pem <br> <br>There’s a tutorial that should show you how to get your StartSSL cert working with Apache: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-apache-with-a-free-signed-ssl-certificate-on-a-vps
Thanks <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-apache-with-a-free-signed-ssl-certificate-on-a-vps <br> <br>This was what I was looking for. I was most of the way there signing @ StartSSL would have been easier if I had had this guide. <br> <br>I used the rest to set up Apache
