Does any knows how to setup SSL from comodo on an ubuntu machine? I got the confirmation from comodo to say the the certificate is good but in terms of me setting it up to convert the site from HTTP to HTTPS its’ just not working for me.

Any advise?

Certs don’t convert things. You need to set up your SSL site first, then add the cert. Why Comodo, LetsEncrypt is free and SO easy.

Convert? That term is used improperly. However, you’ll be adding this to your Linux keystore. You’ll initiate a CSR on your Linux box, put that into Comodo’s site, download your cert, then add the cert to your keystore. That’ll be in the /usr directory.

  1. You need to setup a https webserver

  2. Generate a CSR on that web server

  3. Based on the CSR, they will issue a SSL certificate crt file with date validity ( depends on your purchase period )

  4. Need to configure the crt file on the web server ssl conf. ( preferably apache for Ubuntu linux for https )

Your ubuntu webserver apache has configuration for loading in https. Run your webserver on your desired directory in ubuntu. And with ssl configuration, you are running your web server in https mode.

Which web server do you use?

I will look into this option and let you know. I never thought about this. Thanks a lot. I will let you know how it goes.

Ubuntu (APACHE)

Why not just setup Let’s Encrypt with a CRON job to update every 3 months? I mean, it’s free. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
