How to setup AutoSSL on a free ServerPilot plan

May 9, 2017 Web Servers Jesin A 11 Comments

Serverpilot is a hosted control panel for setting up and managing LAMP/LEMP stacks on Ubuntu servers. Just like any other control panel it can be installed with a single command. ServerPilot is simple to use and does not install unnecessary packages like other commercial control panels.

I had written an article for DigitalOcean on setting up mod_security on Apache. Since I found several DO users using ServerPilot to manage their Droplets I wanted to do a small piece on configuring mod_security on ServerPilot managed Ubuntu servers. ServerPilot supports custom .conf files for Apache making it easier load additional modules. This tutorial with be brief, for a detailed explanation please read the guide I wrote for DigitalOcean.Continue Reading…
