See your config files for your web server and they will tell you where to place them. On RHEL or Fedora, check /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf On RHEL5, they recommend you place the key in /etc/pki/tls/private and the crt file and the certificate chain files in /etc/pki/tls/certs. Note that you will need to tell apache about the signing authority chain. This is essentially a list of who trusts who and is required for some reason or else your cert will not be seen as valid by the web browsers. My apache config has these three settings in it: SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/<yourcert>.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/<yourkey>.key SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/gd_intermediate_bundle.crt The gd_intermediate_bundle.crt is provided by godaddy. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
