Apache Configuration

Follow the steps after these file attachments first, then copy these four files onto the new machine.

Might want to read through the whole thing, because the notes below assume you are setting up Apache from a fresh install, so some of it is redundant if you are copying the four files below over the ones you would have created following the steps below.

Check this link for Optimizing Apache

httpd.conf.txt
ports.conf.txt
000-default
ssl
mkvhost (This script will create virtual hosts for you.)
mkvhost2 (The new version of mkvhost.)
mkvhost-zend (The zend server version of mkvhost2.)
make_page (needed for mkvhost-zend to work.)

SSL Info

More info found here - http://superuser.com/questions/73979/how-to-easily-create-a-ssl-certificate-and-configure-it-in-apache2-in-mac-os-x

Create a Certificate

$ sudo apt-get install ssl-cert
$ sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl
$ sudo make-ssl-cert /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem

Or use this method to create the ssl selfsigned certs and key:

 
$ sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key -out /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt

Install Module

$ sudo a2enmod ssl
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload

Create virtualhost

Make a copy of the default Wiki/VirtualHost

$ # or you can symbolically link these
$ sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/ssl

Modify /etc/apache2/sites-available/ssl so that you have,

Wiki/NameVirtualHost *:443

and

<Wiki/VirtualHost *:443>
Wiki/SSLEngine On
Wiki/SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem

.
.
.

</VirtualHost>

Enable SSL virtualhost

$ sudo a2ensite ssl
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

If you want to force SSL - http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-apache-force-https-secure-connections.html

Modify /etc/apache2/sites-available/default so that you change your Wiki/NameVirtualHost and any other virtual hosts to *:80 as in the next two lines.

Wiki/NameVirtualHost *:80
<Wiki/VirtualHost *:80>

Restart Apache server

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Enable the following modules

$ a2enmod rewrite

# ls mods-enabled/
alias.conf@       authz_default.load@    autoindex.conf@  dir.load@   negotiation.conf@  php5.load@        rewrite.load@   ssl.load@
