How to Disable this in Lighttpd?
You can follow our SolusVM SSLv3 Tutorial because of SolusVM use Lighttpd Webserver however I am writing this tutorial for you so you can easily understand this.

Enter this command in your SSH Client
Quote:nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

In lighttpd.conf enter this command in your $SERVER["socket"] == ":443" line but don't forget to enter this after { bracket start and before } bracket close line.


Here is example:

Quote:$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" {
ssl.engine = "enable"
ssl.pemfile = var.confdir + "/example.org.pem"
ssl.ca-file = var.confdir + "/example.org.bundle.crt"
server.name = var.confdir + "/example.org"
server.document-root = "/srv/html"
ssl.use-sslv2 = "disable"
ssl.use-sslv3 = "disable"


Save your file and then restart ligghtpd.
Quote:service lighttpd restart


Note: "service ligghtpd restart" command works on CentOS but If you are using any other Operating system then you need to search in google on how to restart lighttpd on your xyz operating system
