There are still 2 glaring issues with this article, and why many users get so frustrated when learning Linux admin:

You missed adding vim/nano/vi/whatever when editing the ssl.conf file.
In that file, you mention /etc/private/ but you just created /etc/ssl/private.

Thanks

Thank you for this article/guide it helped me, I just wanted to add that the user/reader needs to 'cd' to /etc/ssl/private after creating it, also to open the port through the firewall --add-port=443 does not work, it throws an error "Error: INVALID_PORT: bad port (most likely missing protocol), correct syntax is portid[-portid]/protocol", the correct option with value is --add-port=443/tcp. using centos 7.5 As mentioned this is a really nice article guide and I am very grateful for your effort, solved my problem, cheers. Thank you Paul
