Make Apache2 server HTTPS secure

1. Create key and cerificate files.

cd /etc/apache2/
mkdir -p ssl/crt
mkdir -p ssl/key 
cd ssl 
openssl req -newkey  rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout key/vhost2.key    -x509 -days 365 -out crt/vhost2.crt  

2. Configure Virtual host in the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

...
<VirtualHost *.443>        

        DocumentRoot /var/www/secure

        ServerName vhost1.yourdomain.com

        # DirectoryIndex index.php

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/vhost1-error.log

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/vhost1-access.log combined

        SSLEngine On

        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/crt/vhost2.crt

        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/key/vhost2.key

        <Location />

        SSLRequireSSL On

        SSLVerifyClient optional

        SSLVerifyDepth 1

        SSLOptions +StdEnvVars +StrictRequire

        </Location>

        <Directory "/var/www/vhost1">

                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

                AllowOverride None

                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

                Order allow,deny

                AddHandler cgi-script .py

                AddHandler default-handler .html .htm

                Allow from all

         </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

3. Install modes

    sudo a2enmod rewrite

    sudo a2enmod ssl 

3.  Restart Apache2 

    sudo service apache2 restart 

Installing new partition for swap space

1. Add new disk in VMWare. In the example it is 3rd disk.
    a. Power off machine
    b. Edit Settings
    c. Add ...   Hard Disk , Next
    d. Create a new virtual disk, Next
    e. Capacity 2GB , Thick provision Lazy Zeroed, Next , Next
    f. Finish
       
2. Create MS-DOS partition table.
    > fsdisk /dev/sdc
    > n (new)
    > p (primary)
    > 1 (first)
    > w (write) 

3. Install and used GUI program gparted
    > sudo apt-get install gparted 

4. Start gparted from Ubuntu GUI.  
   a. Select device GParted / Devices / dev/sdc1 
   b. Device / Create Partition Table , , Apply 
   c. Create partition: Patrition / New /
   d. Create as: Primary Patrition, File system: linux-swap, Label: swap / Add 
   e. Edit /  Apply All Operations 
   f. Partition / Swapon 
   g. GParted / Quit 

5. Make your changes permanent by adding entry to /etc/fstab file: 

mpug@testtool13:/$ vi /etc/fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
## Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).##
