1. Install OpenSSL
sudo apt-get install openssl
2. Run the following command to generate the self signed SSL certificates:
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 1095 -newkey rsa:2048 -out /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt -keyout /etc/ssl/private/server.key
3. Enable SSL for Apache
sudo a2enmod ssl
4. Put the default-ssl site available creating a symbolic link
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-ssl.conf
5. Edit the file default-ssl.conf
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-ssl.conf
Change the following lines to point to the certs:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/server.key
6. Restart Apache
