I think that's the tutorial you need

Steps:

sudo a2enmod ssl

sudo service apache2 restart

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

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf

  • Replace the content with the content from the Tutorial.

  • Basicly for a new website, just copy the file and change the name of the folder and host

sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

sudo service apache2 restart

It worked for me

Install openssl:

sudo apt-get install openssl

Create directory to save certificate:

sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl

sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl/certs

sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl/private

enable ssl module in apache

sudo a2enmod ssl

go to cd /etc/apache2/ssl/private

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout website_ssl.key -out website_ssl.csr -sha256

u will get two files .csr and .key

download your ssl by uploading your csr to your ssl provider and once certificate issued download the files to

cd /etc/apache2/ssl/certs

open sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf

 SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/example.in/certs/
 SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/example.in/
 SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/example.in/certs/

add .key .csr and gb_bundle.csr in apache2

to enable

sudo a2ensite default-ssl.conf

sudo service apache2 restart
