Installing SSL Certificate HELP

[jakejammin]

I hope someone can help me with this problem.

I'm trying to install a SSL Certificate from GoDaddy.Com
So let me explain the steps I took.

Now I have a freash install of xampp.
After setting up my VirtualHosts, all is fine, now I open the httpd-ssl.conf and confrigure it for one domain.
That works fine when using the default server.crt and .key files.

So I opened the "openssl.exe" in the apache bin and generate a CSR with:

Code: Select all

openssl genrsa -des3 -out .key 1024
Then
openssl req -config openssl.cnf -new -key server.key -out .csr

That created 2 files in the bin folder.
.key
.csr

So at that point I took and opened the .csr in wordpad and copied the information to the SSL request in GoDaddy.Com.

They emailed me 2 SSL Certificates, one was "www..com.crt" and the other was "issuing.crt"......

So I took both and placed them in the crt folder, then also placed ther .key in the key folder of xampp\apache\conf\ssl.key.
Opened the httpd-ssl.conf and changed the below.

Code: Select all

SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl.crt/www..com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl.key/.key
SSLCertificateChainFile conf/ssl.crt/issuing.crt


Now when I restart Apache from the "Adminstrative Tools/Services" I get this error.



The "Event Log" says:
The Apache2 service terminated with service-specific error 1 (0x1).

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong......
When I make a self signed certificate it works, but when I try and use GoDaddy.Com's certificate I get the error above when I try and start Apache.

HELP PLEASE

Also let me add that when I just add to the httpd-ssl.conf

SSLCertificateChainFile conf/ssl.crt/issuing.crt

It starts fine.
But it is when I add the:

SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl.crt/www..com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl.key/.key

Then the server will not start and I get the above error.

Thanks

That does not help me.
When I do that it works fine, but I'm not a trusted CA, so thus the user gets the Not Trusted window popup.

But when I take them steps but make a CSR, then request a SSL Certificate, then add the Certificates I get emailed to me and start Apache, I get that error above........


Does ANYONE know why or what I can check????

www..com may be your problem.
Should it not be www.yourdomainname.com.crt?

Also (if the above fixes it) it will only work with https://www.yourdomain.com. It will not work with https://yourdomain.com.

You have an image file with properties of http://www..com/untitled.JPG that is not showing in your post. That is the clue.
