Hi guys,
I wonder how to set up SSL on Apache Web Server? If anybody has a quick guide or can guide me I would be grateful.
Thank you.

everybody's problems on this board are urgent. Everybody's boss needs them to finish their project in very short limits of time. This does not mean that your question should take priority over anybody else's and it definitely does not mean that we should do your research for you. There are very few people who will be willing to help you knowing you're not willing to at least research the subject by yourself first. :roll:

I did a lot of researches but because I knowthis forum is visited by many developers andso they might have done this(I am sure) I decided to ask for a how-to.

If no one knows it is OK, I will continue on my own.

The best I can advise is to know what linux distro the server runs, then go to that forum and see if you can find a HOWTO. Usually HOWTO's are put online with ditro-specific instructions. It's likely you can just install the apackage mod_ssl from the distro's package manager and then edit your httpd.conf to use that module for specific sites.

A fews old, I know. But having just gone through this...

The first thing you should do is check to see if you are parsing the ssl.conf file in your apache set up. It will usually be in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory. Once that is there, visit the provider of your SSL certificate and follow their instructions for what to do. It will usually involve generating an RSA key using openssl on your system, then receiving a key, then grabbing a CA then installing the cert. This will all be managed in the ssl.conf configuration file as the Apache server will usually configure the :443 port inside of the configuration file.

Start with that, and post back if you have more questions.
