Installation Guide for Debian misses https setup

[Christoph Häfner]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure apache2 to deliver my openxchange over https.

I reread the Install Guide for Debian 5, but this guide misses the https setup.

I thought it can't be that hard, read some tutorials and got my apache2 to deliver simple html-pages over https. I then copied the part which is responsible to deliver openxchange from the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default into my new /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-default-ssl

But now the Redirect Match doesn't work anymore and I'm not sure if I also need to alter the proxy_ajp.conf to work correctly with https?

I would like to see an updated Installationguide, so everyone can easily configure apache2 to work with ssl, which in my eyes is a must have in these days!

Every hint to get apache2 work correctly is highly appreciated.

Cheers
Christoph

Hi,

it's quite easy, just load mod_ssl (a2enmod ssl) and add three lines to your existing sites-enabled file that also contains a part of the OX configuration:

        SSLEngine On
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/certificate.pem
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/certificate.key

Debian comes with some default self-signed certificate called "snakeoil" at the /etc/ssl directory. You can use this for testing purposes but please consider getting a trusted certificate when dealing with real user data.

For me it is "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default". I'm running debian lenny 64bit and (obviously) apache2. But the name and the path of your "existing sites-enabled file" totally depends on your setup.

Hi there, sorry to dig up an old thread. I'm using Open Xchange version 6.20.7 Rev15 on Debian and haven't got a clue where in the 000-default file to put this? the virtualhost for Open Xchange begins with <VirtualHost *:80> saying to me that it's only bound to port 80 (Sorry, I'm not very good with apache I'm afraid). I could send someone the file if they are willing to help me.

thanks in advance

Dave
