Hello all,
I recently took over a server that is using Apache2 with SSL. I have setup a new server to which I am migrating all of
the old websites so that we can more easily scale (it's a cloud server) and so that I can set everything up correctly (or at least with some sort of convention).
I have read quite a few articles on setting up Apache2 and SSL with virtual hosts, but I'm a bit confused because all of
the examples show three files and I only seem to have two. To compound
the problem, they are all named differently (do
the file extensions actually make a difference?).
The examples show something to this effect:
<VirtualHost X.X.X.X:443>
ServerAlias something.mydomain.com
ServerAdmin
[email protected]
DocumentRoot /var/www/project/client/site
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/mydomain-cert.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/mydomain-key.pem
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/certs/mydomain-ca.crt
</VirtualHost>
However,
the files I have are:
_.mydomain.com.crt
gd_bundle.crt
It is a wildcard certificate that we purchased through GoDaddy I believe. I believe that
the first file is
the actual certificate file and
the gd_bundle.crt is
the chain file, but that leaves me without a key file. There is also a random mydomain.csr file lying around on
the old server, but it wasn't one of
the files bundled with
the download from GoDaddy, so I'm not really sure as to what it is.
Any help in figuring out what I need to do would be greatly appreciated. I am software developer, so I know my way around computers, but I have only dabbled in server setup/maintenance.
Much Thanks!
