Re: Moving an SSL Cert.

Doug, from my experience working with SSL on iTools 6.02

Make sure you place the 2 relevant files into these directories..
SSLCertificateFile      /Library/WebServer/tenon/ssl/certs/*******.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile   /etc/ssl/private/*******.key

You do not need to re-generate anything if you have these 2 files.

The permissions on the key file should be as follows.
-r--------  1 root  staff  887 Jul 11 09:59 *******.key

Also, when moving from a Mac to Unix (Mac OSX) make sure you open a copy of
the files in Bbedit and save them with Unix line breaks. This stumped us the
first time and stopped the server.

Apart from that the move is a pretty simple one. Our install was back up and
running almost straight away after the move.
