How to install SSL for your OS distribution
Installing SSL is quite different depending on OS target and targeted domains.
All OS distributions need to have OpenSSL installed and mod_ssl enabled in Apache.
Please carefully read through all the documentation for your OS distribution BEFORE attempting to enable SSL on your server.
Login to a terminal as the root user
sudo -i
Install OpenSSL
apt-get install openssl
Create a directory for your certificates
mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl/
Create the certificates
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -out /etc/apache2/ssl/Sentora.crt -keyout /etc/apache2/ssl/Sentora.key
Fill in all the information that is needed when prompted.
