In order to get a valid SSL certificate, you will need to generate a CSR that a certificate signing authority (such as Verisign or Thawte) will request. You have to determine the URL for the secured web site – this should be a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), i.e. if you want to access your secured website through https://www.example.com/, then the FQDN of your website is www.example.com
Select a few large and relatively random files on your server – compressed log files are a good start. These will act as your random seed enhancers. We refer to these as file1:file2:…:file5 below. Generate a key with the following command:

To set up a VPS from the default minimal Debian Etch template (you can find it in /vz/template/cache/), run:
[root@melbourne ~]# vzctl create 157 –ostemplate debian-5.0-i386-minimal –config vps.basic
The 157 must be a uniqe ID – each virtual machine must have its own unique ID.
To start vm at boot, run
[root@melbourne ~]# vzctl set 157 –onboot yes –save
To set a hostname and IP address for the vm, run:
[root@melbourne ~]# vzctl set 157 –hostname debian.server.com –save
[root@melbourne ~]# vzctl set 157 –ipadd 192.168.0.157 –save

Firefox – The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

PERL MODULES
What is Perl?
Perl is a high-level programming language with an eclectic heritage written by Larry Wall and a cast of thousands. It derives from the ubiquitous C programming language and to a lesser extent from sed, awk, the Unix shell, and at least a dozen other tools and languages. Perl’s process, file, and text manipulation facilities make it particularly well-suited for tasks involving quick prototyping, system utilities, software tools, system management tasks, database access, graphical programming, networking, and world wide web programming. These strengths make it especially popular with system administrators and CGI script authors, but mathematicians, geneticists, journalists, and even managers also use Perl.
