Hard to believe ... but Dhaval the below steps actually worked, and my site appears to have SSL. Thank you so much. But of course this draws me to another question.
I had just purchased a "Verisign" certificate and do not know how to handle this? Can I just call the Verisign certificate when doing this: openssl x509 -in server.csr -out server.crt -req -signkey server.key -days 365 and using the one verisign gave me here? Also, is this a good certificate? Do I need the Verisign one? As you may be able to tell, I am very confused and could use a little explanation if possible.
