HTTPS uses the SSL\/TLS protocol for encryption and authentication, and for securing the communication between the browser and the web server. It encrypts HTTP requests and responses to prevent someone from sniffing the information that is shared between your browser and the web server. Without HTTPS, someone would be able to sniff and collect your website visitors&#8217; sensitive information such as login credentials and credit card details.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In this tutorial, we will show you how to enable HTTPS protocol with Apache2 on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/ubuntu-hosting.html\">managed Ubuntu VPS<\/a>. By default, if you install Apache on your Ubuntu 20.04 server, it will create an apache virtual host for your server\u2019s hostname, and it only listens on the non-secure port (HTTP\/80). This means, that if you navigate to your server\u2019s hostname using a web browser, you will see the default page of Apache2 Ubuntu, and if you access it through HTTPS, it will throw an error message as Apache2 is not listening on port 443 and no SSL certificate is configured.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_66_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-66703d48a1ea2\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-66703d48a1ea2\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-enable-https-protocol-with-apache-2-on-ubuntu-20-04\/#Prerequisites\" title=\"Prerequisites\">Prerequisites<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-enable-https-protocol-with-apache-2-on-ubuntu-20-04\/#Step-1-Log-in-via-SSH-and-Update-Packages\" title=\"Step 1: Log in via SSH and Update Packages\">Step 1: Log in via SSH and Update Packages<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-enable-https-protocol-with-apache-2-on-ubuntu-20-04\/#Step-2-Enable-Mod-SSL\" title=\"Step 2: Enable Mod SSL\">Step 2: Enable Mod SSL<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-enable-https-protocol-with-apache-2-on-ubuntu-20-04\/#Step-3-Create-a-Self-Signed-SSL-Certificate\" title=\"Step 3: Create a Self-Signed SSL Certificate\">Step 3: Create a Self-Signed SSL Certificate<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-enable-https-protocol-with-apache-2-on-ubuntu-20-04\/#Step-4-Enable-HTTPS-and-Install-an-SSL-Certificate\" title=\"Step 4: Enable HTTPS and Install an SSL Certificate\">Step 4: Enable HTTPS and Install an SSL Certificate<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prerequisites\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prerequisites\"><\/span>Prerequisites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>A server with Ubuntu 20.04 and Apache.<\/li>\r\n<li>A root user access or regular user with sudo privileges.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-1-Log-in-via-SSH-and-Update-Packages\"><\/span>Step 1: Log in via SSH and Update Packages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Log in to your Ubuntu 20.04 VPS through SSH:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">ssh sshuser@IP_Address -p Port_number<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Replace \u201csshuser\u201d with a user that has sudo privileges, or root.

When Apache restarts, it will be configured to allow SSL connections by using the generated self-signed SSL certificates. When you navigate to your website via HTTPS, you\u2019ll be warned that it\u2019s not a trusted certificate. That\u2019s okay. We know this since we signed it ourselves! Just proceed and you will see your actual website. This will not happen if you use a paid SSL certificate or an SSL certificate provided by Letsencrypt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Congratulations! At this point, you should be able to enable HTTPS protocol with Apache2 on Ubuntu 20.04.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Of course, you don\u2019t have to know how to enable HTTPS protocol with Apache2 on Ubuntu 20.04 if you have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/ubuntu-hosting.html\">Ubuntu 20.04 VPS hosted<\/a> with us.
