Google Sitemap Generator - set up HTTPS on Linux

i am new to site maps, and Google sitemap generator. i am working on a test server and neither localhost nor live. its basically a local test server. I have installed it and also enabled remote access and am now able to access the admin console using http. the problem is i need to enable h开发者_StackOverflowttps as well.

when i try to access it through https, i get an "SSL CONNECTION ERROR".

i know that google's documentation on this topic says something like:

To set up HTTPS on Linux:

1.Edit the file /usr/local/google-sitemap-generator/conf/httpd.conf.

2.In the VirtualHost section, edit the SSL settings.

3.Save the file.

4.Restart Apache to effect the changes.

But in the file httpd.conf, there are no "SSL settings" for me to edit.

Can someone remove this 'vagueness' from the directions?

Thanks

I suppose, you have to add to /usr/local/google-sitemap-generator/conf/httpd.conf something like this (into virtualhost directive)

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/google-sitemap-generator/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/google-sitemap-generator/server.key

This link was helpful for me: http://groups.google.com/group/google-sitemap-generator/browse_thread/thread/a5b0575efad76328

In my case server.crt and server.key files were generated by openssl command (http://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_test_certificate.html).

Make sure mod_ssl is enabled in Apache (run a2enmod).
