The Server's Online

Well, after many problems yesterday, I decided to update the firmware on the router. The result, no more drop-out. So the piggy back connection is no longer required.


 


I've decided to setup a simple web and ssh server for personal use. Making use of a patched version of Debian, it's up and running. There was no problems in the starting of the server, the issues came with SSL. I have self-signed the certificate for the server and have setup Apache to use mod_ssl. It's not the easiest to setup and took hours of searching to find the correct settings to use in the virtual host.


 


There were separate guides for signing certificates (worked well) and using certificates with apache (worked not so well). We could really do with a combined guide. Oh well...


 


If you want to take a peak, goto http://steelehost.dyndns.org/ [normal] or https://steelehost.dyndns.org/ [secure]. There's nothing there yet, but proof it is working.
