Setting up SSL on raspberry pi

Question

I have a raspberry pi with apache on it, and I would like to set up SSL on it.

Issues and what I have tried:

When I try to activate the SSL module and run the command: sudo a2enmod ssl and sudo a2enmod default-ssl I get command not found .

My second issue is that I cannot restart the apache webserver, I would run the command sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart and as a result I get apache2.serviceJob for apache2.service failed. See 'systemctl status apache2.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details apache2.serviceJob for apache2.service failed. See 'systemctl status apache2.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details .

What am I doing wrong?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Do you have a default-ssl.conf file in [wherever-it-is]/mods-available/default-ssl.conf

sudo nano it into existence if not,

restarting the server, have you tried "sudo service apache2 restart" or replace "restart" with "reload"?

How do you normally access services on a Pi?
