Re: [SLUG] Switching a website to ssl
Hi To create the cert it is maybe a good idea to look at http://www.cacert.org/ There you can create signed certificates for free. Cheers, Thomas Am Mittwoch, 17.

If yes, then change that to https, otherwise you'll be thrown out of the SSL enabled virtualhost when navigating. In this situation, I think it's convenient and a little more user friendly to redirect http to https. That way everyones old bookmarks still work, and if you type the url in manually, you don't need to remember/be bothered to put https:// in first. It also means http absolute urls in the application still work. This page has one way to do it. http://www.whoopis.com/howtos/apache-rewrite.html -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] Switching a website to ssl
The whole application to be accessed via SSL? If yes, then the steps are: - create the certificates. - make sure your apache installation was compiled with SSL support, then enable SSL on a given virtualhost (since you're just switching, probably the virtualhost has the same name as the host itself, but uses port 443, if you want to keep the https:// in the address bar). - check if your application uses absolute URLs (like in http://site/page.php; instead of page.php) in the page links. If yes, then change that to https, otherwise you'll be thrown out of the SSL enabled virtualhost when navigating. This answers the question. Detailed instructions can be quite long, so I suggest you google for a few howtos on the subject.
