==== Apache server ====

The Amazon documentation instructs you to install `mod_ssl` with the following command which should create a file `/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf` when it completes. 

Note that applies to Apache servers. Confirm that Apache is serving web requests with 

<pre>
$ sudo systemctl is-enabled httpd
</pre>

If the command returns `disabled` then another server, most likely nginx, is already serving web requests.

<syntaxhighlight lang="sh">
$ sudo yum install mod_ssl
</syntaxhighlight>

This did not work for me for `dbarchowsky.com` which was on a t1.micro instance, Amazon Linux AMI version 2018.03. What worked instead was:

<syntaxhighlight lang="sh">
$ sudo yum install mod24_ssl
</syntaxhighlight>

These commands don't need to be entered manually. Instead they should be put into an `.ebextensions` config file so that the site can be deployed without manual configuration. 

<syntaxhighlight lang="yaml">
packages:
  yum:
    mod_ssl : []
</syntaxhighlight>
