Thawte actually has a pretty good article here: http://www.thawte.com/html/SUPPORT/keygen/mod_ssl.html The step allows you to set up a test self-signed certificate. You'll get the annoying browser prompt each time you go to the site, but at least it'll be encrypted. Thawte is a little cheaper than Verisign, I use them for SSL. > <VirtualHost *> > ServerName ssl.mydomain.com > DocumentRoot /var/www/ssldocs/ > </VirtualHost> Something that took a while for me to get with SSL is that you cannot do name based virtual hosting using SSL, so if ssl.mydomain.com is the only domain you have, this will work, but if you want to have multiple ssl domains, you will need a different solution, probably more IP addresses. It's because of the protocol.
