It is the most valid and secure communication protocol on the internet. HTTPS protects the integrity and confidentiality of the website and the user&#8217;s computer. Without HTTPS, it is possible for someone to intercept and gather sensitive information from your website visitors, including login credentials and credit card details. Once you have installed Apache or Nginx on Ubuntu 26.04, the service will only run on port 80 by default. To enable HTTPS on Ubuntu 26.04, configure Apache or Nginx to listen on port 443 and install an SSL certificate. In this article, we will guide you on how to install the HTTPS Protocol on Ubuntu 26.04.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prerequisites\">Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linuxcloudvps.com\/cloud-vps.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ubuntu 26.04 VPS<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SSH access with sudo privileges, or root access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A domain or subdomain already pointing to your server<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conventions\">Conventions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># \u2013 given commands should be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of sudo command<br>$ \u2013 given commands should be executed as a regular user<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1. Update the System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, we need to log in to our Ubuntu 26.04 VPS through SSH:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>ssh root@IP_Address -p Port_number<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Replace &#8220;root&#8221; with a user that has sudo privileges or root if necessary. Additionally, replace &#8220;IP_Address&#8221; and &#8220;Port_Number&#8221; with your server\u2019s respective IP address and SSH port number. Next, let\u2019s make sure that we\u2019re on Ubuntu 26.04. You can verify it with this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># lsb_release -a<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get this as the output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>No LSB modules are available.\nDistributor ID: Ubuntu\nDescription:  Ubuntu Resolute Raccoon \nRelease:  26.04\nCodename: resolute<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, run the following command to make sure that all installed packages on the server are updated to their latest available versions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># apt update <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it, the system package information should be updated now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2. Install Web Server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will show you how to install the HTTPS protocol on Ubuntu 26.04. In Apache and Nginx. Please select one of the web servers, Apache or nginx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apache<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To install Apache, run the command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># apt install apache2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Nginx<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To install nginx, run the command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># apt install nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever web server you choose to install, it will run automatically upon installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3. Create a Virtual Host<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to run Apache as the web server, let&#8217;s complete this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/ssl.yourdomain.com.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Insert the following into the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;\n\n    ServerAdmin admin@yourdomain.com\n    ServerName ssl.yourdomain.com\n\n    DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/ssl.yourdomain.com\n\n    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/ssl.yourdomain.com.error.log\n    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/ssl.yourdomain.com.access.log combined\n\n&lt;\/VirtualHost&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Please make sure to replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name pointing to the server. Save the file, then exit from the editor. Now, let&#8217;s enable the virtual host and restart Apache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># a2ensite yourdomain.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># systemctl restart apache2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to use nginx, skip the steps above and complete the following instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># nano \/etc\/nginx\/conf.d\/ssl.yourdomain.com.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Insert the following into that file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>server {\n        listen 80;\n\n        root \/var\/www\/html\/ssl.yourdomain.com;\n        index index.html;\n\n        server_name ssl.yourdomain.com;\n\n        location \/ {\n                try_files $uri $uri\/ =404;\n        }\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Please make sure to replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name pointing to the server. Save the file, exit from the editor, then restart nginx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># systemctl restart nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-install-certbot\">Step 4. Install Certbot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Certbot is a tool to obtain SSL certificates from Let&#8217;s Encrypt and optionally) easier and auto-enable HTTPS on your server. It can also act as a client for any other CA certificates that use the ACME protocol. In this step, we&#8217;ll learn the steps to install Certbot on Ubuntu and obtain an SSL\/TLS certificate. To install Certbot on Ubuntu 26.04, we need to install:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose Apache as the web server, run this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># apt install python3-certbot-apache<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose nginx, execute this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># apt install python3-certbot-nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-5-enable-https-protocol\">Step 5. Enable HTTPS Protocol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When using Apache, we need to enable the SSL module first because mod_ssl is not enabled by default on an Ubuntu machine. Let&#8217;s execute the command below to enable the SSL module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># a2enmod ssl<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply the changes, we need to restart Apache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># systemctl restart apache2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it, the Apache SSL module has been enabled. Whether you are running Apache or nginx, you can execute the command below to enable the HTTPS protocol and generate an SSL certificate for your domain\/subdomain. You would just need to select the plugin to authenticate when prompted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># certbot<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The command above will prompt you to select which web server you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Saving debug log to \/var\/log\/letsencrypt\/letsencrypt.log\n\nEnter email address (used for urgent renewal and security notices)\n (Enter 'c' to cancel): you@ubuntu26.rosehosting.com\n\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -\nPlease read the Terms of Service at\nhttps:\/\/letsencrypt.org\/documents\/LE-SA-v1.5-February-24-2025.pdf.

Your Apache or nginx configuration will be updated automatically to enable the HTTPS protocol on your domain\/subdomain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-6-create-a-self-signed-ssl-certificate\">Step 6. Create a Self-Signed SSL Certificate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is optional; if you use your actual domain and complete the step above to generate an SSL certificate with Certbot, you can skip this step. A self-signed SSL certificate is a great choice when you are experimenting or testing on your Apache server. Although the self-signed certificate won&#8217;t be recognized by browsers, and visitors will receive a warning message if they access your site directly, you can rest assured that you are safeguarded against &#8220;man-in-the-middle&#8221; attacks. If you already possess a paid SSL certificate or a free SSL certificate from Let&#8217;s Encrypt, feel free to skip this step and proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Run this command to generate a self-signed SSL certificate. Make sure to replace ssl.yourdomain.com with your actual domain or subdomain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">$ sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout \/etc\/ssl\/private\/ssl.yourdomain.com.key -out \/etc\/ssl\/certs\/ssl.yourdomain.com.crt<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>When running the command above, you will need to answer the prompts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Country Name (2 letter code) &#91;AU]:\nState or Province Name (full name) &#91;Some-State]:\nLocality Name (eg, city) &#91;]:\nOrganization Name (eg, company) &#91;Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:\nOrganizational Unit Name (eg, section) &#91;]:\nCommon Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) &#91;]:\nEmail Address &#91;]:<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrap Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it! The SSL certificate for ssl.yourdomain.com has been generated, and HTTPS should now work properly on your domain\/subdomain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you liked this post on how to install the HTTPS Protocol on Ubuntu 26.04, please share it with your friends or leave a comment below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure.
