Apache Installation

We'll do our Apache install from the ports. I'll demonstrate an install from sources later.

our systems only require two additional packages for this install.

mm-1.2.1.tgz - a memory management library
apache+mod_ssl-1.3.27+2.8.14.tgz - The apache+modssl package

ftp them from:

noc.ws.afnog.org

so what are these packages?

pkg_info mm-1.2.1.tgz

pkg_info apache+mod_ssl-1.3.27+2.8.14.tgz

What are the package requirements for apache?

pkg_info -r apache+mod_ssl-1.3.27+2.8.14.tgz

What files are in the apache package?

wow thats a few, try using less...

Ok, now we're ready to install...

pkg_add mm-1.2.1.tgz

pkg_add apache+mod_ssl-1.3.27+2.8.14.tgz

Ok, lets go look at the configuration.

`Quick and Dirty SSL Certificate Generation`




in some directory, do:


generate an rsa key


openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024


if you want to remove the password from the private key (aftewrwards use server.pem for everything)


openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.pem


generate a csr for the purpose of getting the key signed or generating a self signed cert


openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr


generate a short lived cert


openssl x509 -req -days 60 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
