Apache2 ssl certificate script not present in Hardy

[David Fletcher]

I've got a small, spare machine at work that I can experiment on. I've 
installed a server (command line only install option) on it using the Ubuntu 
Hardy Alternate CD.

I would like to get squirrelmail working over ssl, for access to my mail 
server whilst away from home.

Squirrelmail is installed and working (showing my mail box - I've done nothing 
else with it yet) over http. What I've done next is:-

Edit the /etc/apache2/available-servers/squirrelmail file to enable switching 
from http to https. This is working.

Downloaded and unpacked the squirrelmail secure login plugin. I'm assuming 
that I need this.

Copied /etc/apache2/sites-available/default 
to /etc/apache2/sites-available/ssl and edited as described in the how-to I 
found to set the port number to 443 and switch on ssl. The problem is, I 
don't have the /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem certificate file. When I 
previously set up a server (to run subversion over Apache/ssl) with Dapper 
there was a script in /usr/sbin/ called apache2-ssl-certificate, which 
created a certificate for Apache to use over ssl, and it works just fine. 
That script is not present on the Hardy system I just installed.

Question - What do I use instead of apache2-ssl-certificate to 
create /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem? Or has everything changed?

TIA

Dave
