My operating system is (include version):
ubuntu 14.04
My web server is (include version):
Apache
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
no
I am attempting to get a cert for a new QA env. The site is SSL enabled but, I need to get a new cert for the QA. I am unable to start the server without a cert but, the only cert that I currently have is for the .com domain. Please advise how I can get around this…
The issue is that I gave the following lines commented out since I do not have a cert yet… but I am not sure how to get around the chicken/egg situation.
THANK YOU! Assistance MUCH appreciated!!!
# SSL Engine Switch:
# Enable/Disable SSL for this virtual host.
#SSLEngine on
# A self-signed (snakeoil) certificate can be created by installing
# the ssl-cert package. See
# /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz for more info.
# If both key and certificate are stored in the same file, only the
# SSLCertificateFile directive is needed.
#SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/WildCardSha2.pem
#SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/WildCardSha2.key
# Server Certificate Chain:
# Point SSLCertificateChainFile at a file containing the
# concatenation of PEM encoded CA certificates which form the
# certificate chain for the server certificate. Alternatively
# the referenced file can be the same as SSLCertificateFile
# when the CA certificates are directly appended to the server
# certificate for convinience.
#SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/certs/CABundle.pem
