Install SSL certificate for FileCloud on Linux

Install SSL certificate for FileCloud on Ubuntu

1. Add SSL support in Apache. (Enable SSL only if it is not enabled already)

   sudo a2enmod ssl

   
   
   

2. Copy the SSL certificate provided by your certification provider and SSL private key file to the apache directory. The certificate file is renamed as server.crt and intermediate chain file renamed to server-ca.crt and private key file is renamed as server.key

   $ sudo mkdir -p /etc/apache2/ssl

   $ sudo cp server.crt /etc/apache2/ssl

   $ sudo cp server-ca.crt /etc/apache2/ssl 

   $ sudo cp server.key /etc/apache2/ssl 

   
   
   

3. Modify your webserver configuration (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-Default) to use the issued ssl certificate.  (NOTE: The ServerName must match the server name in the SSL certificate)
   

   <VirtualHost *:443>

   # Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
   ServerAdmin support@xyz.com
   ServerName server1.xyz.com

   # Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
   DirectoryIndex index.php

   DocumentRoot /var/www
   <Directory /var/www/>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow,deny
   allow from all
   </Directory>

   
   ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

   # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
   # alert, emerg.
   LogLevel warn
   CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

   
   SSLEngine On
   SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt

   SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server-ca.crt

   SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key

    

   </VirtualHost>

    

   
   

4. Ensure that /etc/apache2/ports.conf has Listen 443 (Should already be there)

5. Restart Apache.
   

   sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
