Apache + SSLeay Certificate
Installing your Web Server Certificate
Your certificate
will be sent to you by email. The email message includes the web server certificate
that you purchased in the body of the email message.
Note: The
examples below use the following naming convention: "Your Web Server Certificate"
= "mydomain.com.crt".
1. Copy the certificate
to the directory that you designate. This is the directory in which you plan
to store your certificate. (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.
2. 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.
3. Open
the httpd.conf file in a text editor.
4. 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).
5. Save the changes
and exit the editor.
6. 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.
Note: You
may refer to the original ModSSL instructions at: http://www.modssl.org/source/exp/mod_ssl/pkg.mod_ssl/INSTALL.
7. 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 should be displayed in the locked position
if the site is set up properly.
