The above config is my way of creating a SSL cert for apache using openssl. Debian squeeze has a make-ssl-cert utility.

See: /usr/share/doc/apache2.2-common/README.Debian.gz

This config sets up multiple vhosts, and allows https access to each vhost. If you use the default-ssl setup with debian squeeze you may get the error: warn _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 443, the first has precedence

... waiting [[Fri|Apr 08 15:02:33 2011]] [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 443, the first has precedence

vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf //Add-in the following above Listen 443 NameVirtualHost *:443

I prefer to tidy up the vhosts a little, calling vhost configs 01-sitexz, 02-sitexy. Note: the 01-sitexz, because it is listed first, ordered by filename, is the default vhost for the server. I.E. if you browse to the http://ipaddress you'll get the 01-sitexz vhost.

cd /etc/apache2/sites-available cat default-ssl » default mv default 01-default vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/01-default //change <VirtualHost _default_:443> //to <VirtualHost *:443>

rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/* a2ensite 01-default //all a2ensite does is to create a symlink from sites-available into sites-enabled

Browse to: http://ipaddress , https://ipaddress , http://test.server.com , https://test.server.com

You will have to accept the SSL cert warning, however all vhosts should show up correct.
