comodo instanssl

Hi all,
I renewed my ssl certificate with comodo, and i went to install/update it inside ispconfig 2 control panel, but it didnt work....

Ok built the box 2 yrs ago and it works well.
I named the thor2.tlsystems.co.uk

I also host about 5 websites as well as www.tlsystems.co.uk, i tried updating the ssl just for tlsystems, (within ispconfig - isp manager - and then my website - ssl tab.

I dont use ssl on any other site.

So, my question is:-

1. I have been sent a zip file containing 2 certs, cert.crt and cert.ca-bundle. Where do they go?
I have tried opening the crt file and pasting the contents within the ssl tab, which is where is got the request.

I followed some previous instructions within the how2forge forums, basically it said to rename my crt file to server.crt and copy it to /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.crt and open /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and change SSLCertificateChain(something) and point it to the ca-bundle file which i uploaded to /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.crt.

Then restart ispconfig /etc/init.d/ispconfig restart - (i Know it not the right spelling)

it the failes on loading, these are the lines :


/root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl stop: httpd (no pid file) not running
ISPConfig system stopped!
Starting ISPConfig system...
Syntax error on line 1103 of /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
SSLCertificateKeyFile: file '/root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.crt' not exists or empty
/root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started
ISPConfig system is now up and running!

help,

To install a SSL-certicate, please have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/14_49_en.html

If you have additional SSL-certifcates, please upload them to /var/www/web#/ssl

Then in the Apache directives field of the website you can add these lines to make your site only available with SSL and to pin your additional Certicate:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
SSLCertificateChainFile /var/www/web#/ssl/UTNAddTrustServerCA.crt

Note: please replace "web#" with your own web ID.
Replace "UTNAddTrustServerCA.crt" with your own additional certicate name.

 

Cheers for the reply hans,

Instantssl sent me a zip containing 2 files www_tlsystems_co_uk.crt and www_tlsystems_co_uk.ca-bundle -

Which file goes in my /var/www/web1/ssl - both or 1???? if 1, where does the other file go?
