Website Using HTTPS Protocol

Last week, I changed protocol of my website from http to https. There were steps that i had to do. First, I installed openssl package and mod_ssl # yum install mod_ssl openssl Then, I configured the openssl  and created certificate # cd /etc/pki/tls/certs # make server.key # openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key # make server.csr # openssl x509 -in server.csr -out server.crt -req -signkey server.key -days 3650 # chmod 400 server.* After that, I changed configuration of httpd/apache #nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" ServerName www.server.world:443 SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server.key Last, I restarted the webserver #service httpd restart That's all what i did last week to change my website protocol from http to https.

Find Working Directory Of Some Process In Linux

Find Working Directory Of Some Process In Linux If i found that any particular process is causing load while monitoring your Linux server, i would kill the process to get rid of it. Now, i found it is always better to identify the root cause of problem. Find out from which directory this process is running. Then i know that it is very easy to identify the working directory of the process, first of all find out the ID of the process for which you wish to determine the working directory. Run the following comamnd : ps -ef | grep Process-Name where replace Process-Name with the name of the process, just like if you want to find out the process ID for firefox then run the command as: ps -ef | gep firefox Once you have determined the process ID, run the following command to find out its working directory. pwdx processID That’s it, Enjoy!
