This howto is meant as a practical guide; it does not cover the theoretical backgrounds. They are treated in a lot of other documents in the web.

1 Preliminary Note

This tutorial is based on Ubuntu 11.10 Server (Oneiric Ocelot), so you should set up a basic Ubuntu 11.10 server installation before you continue with this tutorial (e.g. as shown on the pages 1 - 3 in this tutorial: The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 11.10

How To Set Up SSL Vhosts Under Nginx + SNI Support (Ubuntu 11.04/Debian Squeeze)

Enable the vhost and reload nginx:

cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/www.hostmauritius.com.vhost www.hostmauritius.com.vhost
/etc/init.d/nginx reload

 

4 Creating A Self-Signed Certificate

Before we set up our SSL vhost, we need an SSL certificate. I will now show you how to create your own self-signed certificate. With this certificate, you will get browser warnings, but this certificate is required to get a trusted certificate from a trusted CA later on.

Make sure that the package ssl-cert is installed:

apt-get install ssl-cert

You can now create a self-signed certificate for www.hostmauritius.com as follows:

make-ssl-cert /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf /etc/ssl/private/www.hostmauritius.com.crt

You will be asked for the hostname:

Host name: <-- www.hostmauritius.com

This will create the self-signed certificate and the private key in one file, /etc/ssl/private/www.hostmauritius.com.crt:

cat /etc/ssl/private/www.hostmauritius.com.crt

Setting Up An Android App Build Environment With Eclipse, Android SDK, PhoneGap (Ubuntu 10.10)

This tutorial describes how you can set up an development environment for building Android apps on an Ubuntu 10.10 desktop using Eclipse, the Android SDK, and PhoneGap. I will describe how to build Android apps from the command line with PhoneGap and from the GUI with Eclipse and PhoneGap and how to test them in an Android emulator and on a real Android device. PhoneGap allows you to develop your Android applications using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (e.g. with JavaScript libraries such as jQuery/jQTouch), and it will turn these web apps into native Android apps (in fact, PhoneGap supports multiple platforms such as Android, iPhone, Palm, Windows Mobile, Symbian, so you can use the same sources to create apps for multiple platforms).

I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

 

1 Preliminary Note

I will not explain how to develop an Android app using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You can find lots of tutorials about this on the Internet, e.g. this one:

Tutorial: A simple Twitter client with JQTouch

In fact, I'm using a slightly modified version of the Twitter client described in the link to build a Twitter app in this tutorial.
