Hello,
CAn someone help me on how to install a certificate from certiifcate provider , first time setting up. I followed the instructions from the godaddy site created csr file , copied the .csr data to the godaddy site, they created my certiifcate but I am unable to install . says the key file does not match or error cannot find key file. 6 hours checking settings re downloading same error. Works fine with self signed certificate . Not sure if I.m using the right key file to generate the csr file or where I should be looking for this . Is it feasible to create a whole new key file and start from scratch? How can I create a server key file? Very lost at this point. below are the instructs they reference .
Using suse 11.2 , apache2 , mod_ssl, openssl
Code:
:/usr/bin # openssl genrsa -des3 -out /etc/ssl/servercerts/serverkey.pem 2048
Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus
