Installing a GoDaddy certificate to Apache

Posted on January 13, 2014

I am getting a browser error when I access https://events.aitp.org: events.aitp.org uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. (Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)

I have two files from GoDaddy: /etc/httpd/conf/keys/events.aitp.org.crt /etc/httpd/conf/keys/events.aitp.org-gd_bundle.crt

Which is the SSLCACertificateFile and which is the SSLCertificateChainFile?

Should these directives be in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf or /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf?
