Now we'll configure Apache HTTP Server to serve GoToSocial requests.

1. Update `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf` and change the `ServerAdmin` value to a valid email address (then reload Apache HTTP Server).
2. Add the line `MDContactEmail your.email.address@whatever.com` below the `MDomain` line in `/etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf`, replacing `your.email.address@whatever.com` with a valid email address, and `example.com` with your GtS host name.
## Set up Apache HTTP Server **without** LetsEncrypt SSL
## Set up Apache HTTP Server with SSL managed manually or by an external software (e.g. Certbot or acme.sh)
If you prefer to use a different service to manage SSL certificates (Certbot etc), then you can use a simpler setup for your Apache HTTP Server.

In the case of providing an initial setup for the 443 port looking for additional managing by an external tool, you could use default certificates provided by the server which you can find referenced in the `default-ssl.conf` file at `/etc/apache2/sites-available/`.
Again, replace occurrences of `example.com` in the above config file with the hostname of your GtS server. If your domain name is `gotosocial.example.com`, then `gotosocial.example.com` would be the correct value.
You should also change `http://localhost:8080` to the correct address and port of your GtS server. For example, if you're running GoToSocial on another machine with the local ip of `192.168.178.69` and on port `8080` then `http://192.168.178.69:8080/` would be the correct value.
