This is exactly what mod_ssl is for. Follow the instructions in the mod_ssl docs on how to create your own certificate (self-signed if you don't want ot pay for one). I do it (self-signed) for web-based email where I don't care if the users get a popup about the certificate not being trusted (this is solvable if you have them install all your certificates). -philip On Tue, 22 Apr 2003, Redmond Militante wrote: > hi > > possibly dumb question: > > i have a website that i'd like to serve over https:// instead of http:// > i'm using apache 1.3.27 freebsd 4.8 > > can i use something like mod_ssl for this? do i have to purchase a server certificate off a company like verisign? > > thanks for any advice you can give > > redmond >
