My yearly self signed SSL certificate for www.fendy.org has expired. It’s quite exciting that this is my fourth time generating my own certificate. That means, I’ve already been using fendy.org for the past 4 years.

Maybe I should start to think of buying the recognised certificate from www.godaddy.com after all, it is quite cheap nowadays for a single domain.

Anyways, I’m going to describe how to create a new SSL certificate. This does not cover the installation of Apache and Mod SSL.

I had a slight problem when installing this wordpress on my server. I realised that the .htaccess file just isn’t working properly.

After a quick check on my httpd.conf, it seemed that apache just wouldn’t parse the .htaccess file inside my wordpress folder.

A very fast way to solve the problem is to open the httpd.conf file and add these lines (configure the path based on your server setting. Mine was “/usr/local/apache/htdocs/wordpress”) :

<Directory “/usr/local/apache/htdocs/wordpress”>
AllowOverride Options FileInfo
</Directory>

Also, remember to restart your apache server for the new setting to take effect.

I learned it.
