AWS Debian apache2 web install

So i want to create an apache2 webserver on debian using aws. I'm in needed to what to write so with the codes to make me see everything in order.

I tried installing apache2 and succeeded, but i do not know how to make the self signed certificate, but using the codes from the debian wiki didn't work.

You can set up an Apache2 web server on AWS Debian with SSL.

1. First, update your system and install Apache2:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install apache2 -y

2. Enable required Apache modules:

sudo a2enmod ssl
sudo a2enmod rewrite

3. Install SSL tools:

sudo apt install openssl -y

4. Create a directory for SSL certificates:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apache2/ssl
cd /etc/apache2/ssl

5. Generate a self-signed SSL certificate (you'll be prompted to enter information):

sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 \
-keyout /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key \
-out /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt

6. Create a new Apache configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf

7. Add this configuration (replace your-domain with your domain or IP):

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    <VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html
        
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key
        
        <Directory /var/www/html>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride All
            Require all granted
        </Directory>
        
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    </VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

8. Enable the SSL site:

sudo a2ensite default-ssl.conf

9. Create a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS (optional):

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

Add this configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    Redirect permanent / https://your-domain-or-ip/
</VirtualHost>

10. Set proper permissions for web directory:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html

11. Test Apache configuration:

sudo apache2ctl configtest

12. Restart Apache:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

13. Check Apache status:

sudo systemctl status apache2
