SSl installation and configuration on ubuntu 14.04

Posted on May 26, 2014

Hi,

I purchased ssl certificate from Networkssolutions.com. and am trying to install it on my droplet, here what I did:

  • I generated CSR with common-name= www.mydomain.com as described in digitalocean tutorials.
  • I purchased the certificate for www.mydomain.com
  • I downloaded 3 files from networksolutions: - WWW-MYDOMAIN-COM.crt - AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt - NetworkSolutionsDVServerCA.crt
  • I went to /etc/apache2/site-available/default-ssl.conf and edited the following: - SSLEngine on - SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/WWW.MYDOMAIN.COM.crt - SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/mydomain.key - Added ServerName www.mydomain.com:443
  • SSl enable
  • Apache2 restart

But it is not working, what did I miss?

thanks,

What’s the domain? Do you get any errors?

Make sure you also add in apache’s config file: <br>SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/your/CA.crt <br> <br>And in CA.crt put contents of AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt and NetworkSolutionsDVServerCA.crt one after another.

@jerzy, did not work! <br> <br>I also checked iptables and opened https port, still didn’t work. please help! :) <br>thanks, <br>
