Hi there
I’m looking for some advice please.
I’m trying to create a csr key for namecheap as I have purchased a domain ssl. I have my server set up with server pilot.
My site is a wordpress installed blog.
I followed the below instructions:
https://serverpilot.io/community/articles/generate-an-ssl-key-and-csr.html
when I finish the instructions I don’t get any key or code, just a line that says:
“certs/blogitable.com”
I can’t for the life of me locate the key that I need to provide to namecheap.
I’m I doing something wrong here?
I contacted server pilot and asked them how I locate the key after the instructions and they replied:
"After running the commands in the tutorial the private key and csr you generated are in the directory:
/root/certs/blogitable.com
the file names are:
ssl.key ssk.csr"
This never helped me as I still can’t find the code I need.
Sorry for the basic question.
Any advice would be really appreciated as this is starting to drive me insane!
Thanks in advance
Colin

You need to send the contents of ssk.csr (it should be ssl.csr but that’s fine) to Namecheap. Then you’ll get a signed certificate from Comodo or whatever CA you bought the certificate from which you can use for your website.
