Where is the CA.pl?

I am learning how to setup SSL for Apache. The first step is always setup SSL certs. Most information you found in the Google and the even the latest Apache Cookbook all pointed to the CA.pl which had been come with openssl. I am using Fedora 8 with the openssl-devel installed but like many other people - it just cannot be found.

Finally, I found out that you need to install openssl-perl. If you are using YUM, it would be

yum install openssl-perl

yum through proxy

1) You can set the environment variable, http_proxy and ftp_proxy, each time before you start yum as

export http_proxy="http://ip:port"
export ftp_proxy="http://ip:port"

For corporate environment, you likely need the uesrname and password as well as:
export http_proxy="http://username:password@ip:port"
export ftp_proxy="http://username:password@ip:port"

or

2) Update the /etc/yum.conf add the following line under
proxy=http://ip:port/

Make sure you include the last slat(/)

It saves you from setting the environment variable every time, but having you plain password store in a file may not be a good idea


To get a GUI front end for yum get the yumex
>yum install yumex
