===Installing Apache2, PHP4 and MySQL===
Installing Apache, PHP and MySQL is very simple - if the following steps are adhered to.

1. Install MySQL:
 apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient12-dev
 Not sure about requiring libmysqlclient12-dev, but will check out.

2. Install Apache2 (see http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/apache2.htm):
 apt-get install apache2
 apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4 php4-cli php4-common php4-cgi
 apt-get install php4-mysql
You will also have to symlink mods_available/php.* to /mods_enabled/php.*
 cd /etc/apache2/mods_enabled
 ln -s /etc/apache2/mods_available/php4.conf php4.conf

===Apache2 SSL & Virtual Hosting===
Apache SSL should be installed already with Previous Packages<br>
Look and see if ssl.conf and ssl.load are in /etc/apache2/mods-available<br>
Symlink them into mods-enabled:<br>
 chdir /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
 ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf ssl.conf
Edit /etc/apache2/ports.conf and Add in:
 Listen 443
Restart Apache and that Should be it working. To use SSL - it must be added into the Vhosts in sites-enabled<br>
Two main lines to add for SSL Engine:
 SSLEngine On
 SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem

To make the SSL Cert - Apache has a built-in tool :-)
 chdir to /etc/apache2/ssl and run
 apache2-ssl-certificate
 apache2-ssl-certificate -days 365  //generate for 365 days
This tool is no longer in Debian Etch ;-( Here is how instead:
 openssl req -x509 -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout hostkey.pem -nodes -out hostcert.pem
 cat hostkey.pem >> hostcert.pem
 mv hostcert.pem apache.pem

'''Onto Configing Vhosts<br>'''
1. Default Apache:
 NameVirtualHost kartbuilding.net:80
 <VirtualHost kartbuilding.net:80>
 //insert code as Normal
 </VirtualHost><br>
 NameVirtualHost kartbuilding.net:443
 <VirtualHost kartbuilding.net:443>
 //insert code as Normal; same as above
 SSLEngine On
 SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
 </VirtualHost>

2. Vhost #1 - www.kartbuilding.net
 <VirtualHost www.kartbuilding.net:80>
 //same as normal
 </VirtualHost><br>
 <VirtualHost www.kartbuilding.net:443>
 //as Normal same as above
 SSLEngine On
 SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
 </VirtualHost>

3. Vhost #2 - misc.kartbuilding.net
 <VirtualHost misc.kartbuilding.net:80>
 //same as normal
 </VirtualHost>
 <VirtualHost misc.kartbuilding.net:443>
 //as Normal same as above
 SSLEngine On
 SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
 </VirtualHost>

Main Config got from HAL!<br>

===Apache2 SSL Cert Generation===
To make the SSL Cert - Apache has a built-in tool :-)
 chdir to /etc/apache2/ssl and run
 apache2-ssl-certificate --force -days x

=== Server Side Includes (ssi) ===
 a2enmod include
 //thats it. No htaccess file should be needed.
Quick Test Example:
 index.shtml:
 Main Page
 <!&ndash;-#include virtual="navbar.shtml" -->
 
 navbar.shtml:
 nav
Files called .shtml are by default parsed. A htaccess file can be used if you want the server to parse html files.
