Hey, thx for post, very simple and useful.

Just a question, web browser says that ceritificate version is 1, others certificates are in version 3.
How to do that and what is the difference?

If you have you private key protected with a password alredy created you can execute:
sudo cp private.key private.key.back
sudo openssl rsa -in private.key -out private.key

You put your password and private.key now have no password.

Thnks for the post!

How would I go about setting up the SSL with a cert I bought online? Would I drop it into the /etc/ssl/private and /etc/ssl/certs folders?

Thanks.

@Bryan

Replace this:
sudo openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
With:
sudo openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024

To generate a key without needing a passphrase so your server can start without interruption.
