Correction to guide How to Make a Self-Signed SSL Certificate

In the guide, How to Make a Self-Signed SSL Certificate, there are the lines:

openssl req -new -x509 -sha256 -days 365 -nodes -out /etc/ssl/localcerts/example.com.crt -keyout /etc/ssl/localcerts/example.com.key
chmod 600 /etc/ssl/localcerts/apache*

I believe those should be:

openssl req -new -x509 -sha256 -days 365 -nodes -out /etc/ssl/localcerts/example.com.crt -keyout /etc/ssl/localcerts/example.com.key
chmod 600 /etc/ssl/localcerts/example.com*

Or something like that.

Hi,

Thanks for pointing this out. Linode Docs are actually open-source and available right on GitHub. You can open a GitHub issue for this and hopefully the Docs Team or even anyone who feels compelled to can make the correction:
