Hi,
I purchased ssl certificate from Networkssolutions.com. and am trying to install it on my droplet, here what I did:
- I generated CSR with common-name= www.mydomain.com as described in digitalocean tutorials.
- I purchased the certificate for www.mydomain.com
- I downloaded 3 files from networksolutions: - WWW-MYDOMAIN-COM.crt - AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt - NetworkSolutionsDVServerCA.crt
- I went to /etc/apache2/site-available/default-ssl.conf and edited the following: - SSLEngine on - SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/WWW.MYDOMAIN.COM.crt - SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/mydomain.key - Added ServerName www.mydomain.com:443
- SSl enable
- Apache2 restart
But it is not working, what did I miss?
thanks,

Make sure you also add in apache’s config file: <br>SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/your/CA.crt <br> <br>And in CA.crt put contents of AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt and NetworkSolutionsDVServerCA.crt one after another.
