Configure HTTPS

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat
1

HI

My system is already configured with HTTP setup and I am able to see all the contents using web browser (IE) that is http:// <ip address>

But when entered https://<ipaddress> it fails to return any contents.

Can anyone please tell how to configure for HTTPs, like which files to edit etc..

That depends of course on what type of http server you are using. Assuming it is Apache httpd, you can check this link for a description. It's for Debian so skip the setup and go ahead to the configuration part "Generating A Certificate":
Setting up an SSL server with Apache2

Thank you.

But my system fails to recognise the command mentioned in the link like
# apache2-ssl-certificate
-bash: apache2-ssl-certificate: command not found

# httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.3

It will be very helpful if you can share more info.Thanks
