I discovered that the key generation command asked for information but gave fairly misleading guidance which led to some confusion. The important one was this prompt: -> Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []: This actually needs to be the exact hostname ie "www.domain.com" of the server you're generating the key for. You'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise! Info from http://sial.org/howto/openssl/self-signed/ I wonder if you could update the HOWTO to clarify this point? Thanks, Paul Hi,

This actually needs to be the exact hostname ie “www.domain.com” of the server you’re generating the key for. You’d be forgiven for thinking otherwise!

I wonder if you could update the HOWTO to clarify this point?

Thanks,

ssl.pemfile = “/etc/lighttpd/ssl/domain.com/domain.com”
