[SOLVED] How to check if Apache was configured with SSL enabled

[the182guy]

Hi all,

How can I check if my CentOS server has Apache configured with SSL enabled? I think Apache was installed with the default modules.

Thanks

Assuming that you have the OpenSSL packages installed on your system, then Apache should be able to use them. I don't see any Apache-specific SSL package to install, though you might need to enable SSL via one of the Apache configuration files.

After some looking in /etc for apache+ssl configuration files, I found this: /etc/httpd/conf.d/nss.conf

#
# This is the Apache server configuration file providing SSL support using.
# the mod_nss plugin. It contains the configuration directives to instruct
# the server how to serve pages over an https connection.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#

LoadModule nss_module modules/libmodnss.so

#
# When we also provide SSL we have to listen to the
# standard HTTP port (see above) and to the HTTPS port
#
# Note: Configurations that use IPv6 but not IPv4-mapped addresses need two
# Listen directives: "Listen [::]:8443" and "Listen 0.0.0.0:443"
#
Listen 8443

It goes on for quite a bit, and as it says, "Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure, consult the online docs. You have been warned." - caveat administrator!

I've found the solution: when Apache was first installed it created a file called config.nice in the root of the source which contains the config lines that were used such as --with-ssl
