Installing your Web Server Certificate
Your certificate is pasted in the body of the email and
also attached as a text file. You can either rename the
attached text file and ftp it to your web server or copy the
certificate from the body of the email and create a text file.
*Note: The examples below use the following naming
convention: "Your Web Server Certificate" = "mydomain.com.crt"
Copy the certificate to the directory that you designate.
This is the directory in which you plan to store your
certificate. (by default: /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt or
/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt)
*Note: Copy the entire contents of your certificate from
the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- up to and including the
-----END CERTIFICATE----- lines.
If you have not already set up a secure virtual host, refer to
the following link for more information:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SSL-RedHat-HOWTO.html#toc4
Open the httpd.conf file in a text editor.
Locate the secure virtual host pertaining to your order.
You should have the following directives within this virtual
host. Please add them if you do not.
SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt/mydomain.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key/mydomain.com.key
(or server.key)
Start or Restart your apache web server.
By default: /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl
Or
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart
Other Commands:
/usr/sbin/httpd startssl/restart
/usr/sbin/httpsd startssl/restart
Test your certificate by connecting to your server. Use the
https protocol directive (e.g. https://your server/) to
indicate you wish to use secure HTTP.
*Note: The padlock icon on your Web browser will be
displayed in the locked position if you have set up your site
properly.
