hello there.

When i installed directadmin on my server....
it asked me for the main domain name that will be used.
so i defined it as

www.whatever.com



now i am trying to secure that.

https://www.whatever.com


I bought chained ssl from ev1servers.

I tried to generate a key from directadmin but that wasn't working... so i manually generated a key...

and named it whatever.key and generated a csr and named it whatever.csr

they are in /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/whatever.csr and whatever.key


Now ... what do i do now?

I have tried everything .. but can't get it to work.

How do i tell directadmin to apply the ssl settings for this domain under apache configs for this domain name?

also they have sent me a

The ChainedSSL Intermediate Certificate:


and a

The ChainedSSL Intermediate Certificate:

what is that?

which one do i use?


Help :confused:
 
Since its a "chained" certificate you also have an intermediate certificate, If my memory serves me correctly its not possible to install this kind of certificate via the standard ssl installation interface....

You will want to have a look at:

http://www.freessl.com/resources/install/chainedssl/apache_mod_ssl.htm

The part you want to note is this line:

SSLCACertificateFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ca-bundle/chain.crt

(you will need to add that manually, either through shell or using the custom httpd.conf feature within the panel)

obviously, that needs to link to a file that contains your intermediate certificate :)
