A Bash script designed for automating the process of installing Apache2 and setting up a self-signed certificate & keys for SSL connection via HTTPS.
The script performs the following operations:
- Checks if Apache2 is already installed. If it is not - the script installs it.
- Configures Apache2 to launch at startup.
- Enables SSL support.
- Collects user info for the server's certificate.
- Generates SSL keys (private & public).
- Generates a .conf file to be used in the server's certificate.
- Conducts a final test to make sure Apache's SSL configuration is active.
