Bug#267477: Yet another way to easily set up SSL

[Omen Wild]


I have yet another way to easily set up a SSL server.  It is based
heavily on the method by txemi, but I didn't want to duplicate my
default configuration.  I wanted my SSL server to be identical to my
normal site, so I pulled the guts of sites-available/default into its
own file, sites-available/common, add 'Include sites-available/common'
and then copy the file to sites-available/ssl.  Finally add the SSL
specific parts to the top of ssl.

So, my sites-available/default looks like:
----- Begin sites-available/default -----
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
        Include sites-available/common
</VirtualHost>
----- End sites-available/default -----

sites-available/ssl looks like:
----- Begin sites-available/ssl -----
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>

Listen 443
NameVirtualHost *:443

<VirtualHost *:443>
   SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key

        Include sites-available/common
</VirtualHost>

</IfModule>
----- End sites-available/ssl -----

This way I don't have to maintain to mostly identical files, and I can
still make SSL/non-SSL specific changes.
