Hi @cagkana9f5cd873f5b8188e469
There’s very little difference between SSL certificate installation on CentOS and Ubuntu, since everything is done by Apache/Nginx and OpenSSL, which is the same on both operating systems, but might have slightly different configuration locations.
There’s a fairly generic tutorial for generating certificates and installing them:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-commercial-certificate-authority
And there’s a Apache CentOS tutorial for installing certificate, but since you’re using a commercial certificate, you just need to skip step 2:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-an-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-centos-7
thank you, but how can I make it in my virtual host?
example; my xxx.com.conf file has it;
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.xxx.com
ServerAlias xxx.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/xxx.com/public_html
ErrorLog /var/www/xxx.com/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/xxx.com/requests.log combined
</VirtualHost>
how should I change it?
Simply follow the tutorial that outlines the installation on Apache:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-commercial-certificate-authority#apache
But your end configuration would look something like this:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.xxx.com
ServerAlias xxx.com
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/certificate.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/certificate.key
SSLCACertificateFile /path/to/intermediate.crt
DocumentRoot /var/www/xxx.com/public_html
ErrorLog /var/www/xxx.com/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/xxx.com/requests.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.xxx.com
ServerAlias xxx.com
Redirect permanent / https://www.xxx.com/
</VirtualHost>
