Loading the mod_ssl Module
The mod_ssl module allows you to enable SSL support on your Apache web
server and is needed to enable Apache for SSL requests (https).
For more information on the mod_ssl module, see the mod_ssl user manual
at http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8.
The bundled Apache that comes with Zend Server
includes support for the ssl_module, but this needs to be loaded in order
to activate it. You must have acquired an SSL certificate from an SSL
certificate provider (e.g., http://www.slacksite.com/apache/certificate.html)
or have created your own SSL certificate for the mod_ssl to be loaded.

To load the mod_ssl module:
Open your httpd.conf
file.
By default, this is located in:
Windows: <install_path>\apache2\conf\httpd.conf
Linux/Tarbal:
<install_path>/apache2/conf/httpd.conf Un-comment the
following line by removing the "#".
Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
This calls the SSL configuration
file.
Place your server.crt
and server.key certification files in the 'conf' folder. Restart the Apache
server for the changes to take effect. |
The
mod_ssl module is loaded. |
