3. Enable the necessary modules:

4. Configure your virtual hosts:

Edit the Apache configuration file for your virtual host(s) where you want to enable HTTP/2. Typically, the configuration file is located at /etc/apache2/sites-available/your_virtual_host.conf. Add the following lines inside the <VirtualHost> block:

Protocols h2 http/1.1

 

5. Configure SSL/TLS:

Edit the SSL configuration file located at /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf. Make sure the following line is present and not commented out:
