Configure the Apache Server with SSL certificates<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. In order to use the key pair, the httpd.conf file will need to be updated.

2. In the Virtual Host section of the httpd.conf file, verify that you have the following 3 directives within this Virtual Host. Please add them if they are not present:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SSLCertificateFile \/usr\/local\/ssl\/crt\/public.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile \/usr\/local\/ssl\/private\/private.key

SSLCertificateChainFile \/usr\/local\/ssl\/crt\/intermediate.crt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Some versions of Apache will not accept the\u00a0SSLCertificateChainFile\u00a0<\/strong>directive. Try using\u00a0SSLCACertificateFile\u00a0<\/strong>instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, please see a sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first directive tells Apache how to find the Certificate File, the second one where the private key is located, and the third line the location of the intermediate certificate.

If you are using a different location and certificate file names than the example above (which most likely you are) you will need to change the path and filename to reflect your server.

Note: Some instances of Apache contain both a httpd.conf and ssl.conf file. Please enter or amend the httpd.conf or the ssl.conf with the above directives. Do not enter both as there will be a conflict and Apache may not start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save your httpd.conf file and restart Apache.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
