Installing an SSL Certificate on an Apache Server (Windows)
Last updated: 2024-03-06 17:38:42
Overview
This document describes how to install an SSL certificate on an Apache server.
Note:
The certificate name
cloud.tencent.com is used as an example.The
Apache/2.4.53 version is used as an example. The default port is 80. You can download it from the Apache official website. If you need to use another version, contact us.The current server OS is Windows Server 2012 R2. Detailed steps vary slightly by OS.
Before you install an SSL certificate, enable port
443 on the Apache server so that HTTPS can be enabled after the certificate is installed. For more information, see How Do I Enable Port 443 for a VM?.For detailed directions on how to upload SSL certificate files to a server, see Copying Local Files to CVMs.
Prerequisites
Install the Apache service on the current server.
The data required to install the SSL certificate includes the following:
Name | Description |
Server IP address | IP address of the server, which is used to connect the PC to the server. |
Username | The username used to log in to the server. |
Password | The password used to log in to the server. |
Note:
For a CVM instance purchased on the Tencent Cloud official website, log in to the CVM console to get the server IP address, username, and password.
Directions
Step 1. Upload the certificate file
1. Log in to the SSL Certificate Service console, and click Download for the certificate you need to install.
2. In the pop-up window, select Apache for the server type, click Download, and decompress the
cloud.tencent.com certificate file package to the local directory.
After decompression, you can get the certificate file of the corresponding type, which includes the cloud.tencent.com_apache file.Folder:
cloud.tencent.com_apacheFiles in the folder:
root_bundle.crt: certificate filecloud.tencent.com.crt: certificate filecloud.tencent.com.key: Private key filecloud.tencent.com.csr: CSR fileNote:
You can upload the CSR file when applying for a certificate or have it generated online by the system. It is provided to the CA and irrelevant to the installation.
3. Log in to the Apache server via the RDP port.
Note:
For detailed directions, see Uploading Files from Linux to Windows CVM using RDP.
We recommend that you use CVM's file upload feature for deployment to CVM.
4. Copy the
root_bundle.crt certificate file, cloud.tencent.com.crt certificate file, and cloud.tencent.com.key private key file from the local directory to the ssl.crt and ssl.key folders under the \\conf directory of the Apache server, respectively.SSL Certificate File | Folder |
root_bundle.crt | ssl.crt |
| cloud.tencent.com.crt |
cloud.tencent.com.key | ssl.key |
Step 2. Configure the file
1. Open the
httpd.conf file in the conf directory of the Apache server with a text editor and delete the # before the following fields.#LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so#Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
2. Open the
httpd-ssl.conf file in the conf\\extra directory of the Apache server with a text editor.3. Modify the
httpd-ssl.conf file and set the following field parameters to the paths of the uploaded certificate files as shown below:SSLCertificateFile "C:/apache/conf/ssl.crt/cloud.tencent.com.crt"SSLCertificateKeyFile "C:/apache/conf/ssl.key/cloud.tencent.com.key"SSLCACertificateFile "C:/apache/conf/ssl.crt/root_bundle.crt"
4. Restart the Apache server and then you can access it through
https://cloud.tencent.com.If the security lock icon is displayed in the browser, the certificate has been installed successfully.
In case of a website access exception, troubleshoot the issue by referring to the following FAQs:
(Optional) Security configuration for automatic redirect from HTTP to HTTPS
1. Open the
httpd.conf file in the conf directory of the Apache server with a text editor and delete the # before the following fields.#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
2. Configure the fields in the website running directory. For example, add the following content to the
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs"> field:<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">RewriteEngine onRewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]</Directory>
3. Restart the Apache server and then you can access it through both
https://www.tencentcloud.com/ (which will be automatically redirected to https://www.tencentcloud.com/) and https://www.tencentcloud.com/.
