Installing a web server under Debian is as simple as installing
apache2:
You will now have a default web page at https://localhost/.
The actual page being displayed there comes from
/var/www/index.html. You can begin creating your own web site
from there.
For a secure web server, using SSL to encrypt all communications from
a browser to the server (recognised with the https: prefix) you will
need to enable the ssl module in apache2 and configure it:
wajig install apache2 openssl
/usr/sbin/apache2-ssl-certificate
a2enmod ssl
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
cp default ssl
|
Edit the new ssl:
NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
ServerName host.name.specified.in.certificate.creation
|
Edit default to add *:80.
Make sure /etc/apache2/ports.conf contains:
Then
For apache1 there were two approaches available: One is to use
apache
with the libapache-mod-ssl
module and
the other is to install the apache-ssl
which installs a
separate apache server to listen to port 443 (instead of
80). There are advantages either way but using apache-ssl
is straightforward and cleanly keeps the two servers separate
(configuration files are in /etc/apache and
/etc/apache-ssl and log files in /var/log/apache and
/var/log/apache-ssl respectively).
