It depends on what you want to use it for? A mail server? A web server?

@Pablo I want to use it as a web server.

What webserver are you using? Apache?

@Kamal Nasser I will be using Apache.

Check out https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-centos-6.

Skip Step 3 and follow Steps 2 & 3 of the following article: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-nginx-for-centos-6.

@ Kamal Nasser Thanks for the articles, but one question these articles show how to install self signed certificates, but can I install ssl validated by Comodo using the same procedure?

@snaphoteldeal: Yes, you can install a Comodo SSL cert as long as you do what I said (follow the first article, stop at step 3, follow steps 2 & 3 of the second article, and proceed with the first article).

I'm trying to follow https://digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-ubuntu-12-04 (this is my droplet's setup)

this is a virtual host, wit several sites, one of which I want to run an ecommerce site on, and need SSL

I want to move a SSL certificate from another host. The certificate is provided by comodo

when I edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
I See
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key


the files I brought over from the old server are
ca.crt
server.crt
server.key
(no .PEM file -is that a problem?)

located as directed in /etc/apache2/ssl/


Should I change /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl to point to the new docs?

will it break my sftp setup?

thanks!
