To install your SSL certificate, you will need to do the following:
For Apache v1.X
2
Copy your SSL Certificate out of the order fulfilment e-mail and paste it into a text editor and save as mydomain.crt.
3
Copy mydomain.crt and intermediate.pem to the directory in which you plan to store your certificates.
4
Open your httpd.conf file (some installations keep the SSL section separately in the ssl.conf file) using a text editor, and locate the virtual host section for the site for which the SSL Certificate will secure.
Your virtual host section will need to contain the following directives:
- SSLCertificateChainFile - This will need to point to the appropriate Intermediate root CA certificates.
- SSLCertificateFile - This will need to point to the end entity certificate (the one you have called mydomain.crt)
- SSLCertificateKeyFile - This will need to point to the private key file associated with your certificate.
5
Save the changes to the file and quit the text editor.
