openssl genrsa -out key.pem 2048
Create a certificate request. You will be asked to give information which will be included in the certificate. openssl req -new -key key.pem -out request.pem
Create a self-signed certificate that is valid for a year:
openssl req -x509 -days 365 -key key.pem -in request.pem -out certificate.pem
Concatenate the key and certificate into a single file:
cat key.pem certificate.pem >apache.pem
Copy the new file to the location where apache-ssl looks for the certificate. For example:
cp apache.pem /etc/apache-ssl
Restart apache-ssl and inetd
