SSL Installation problem with WHM.

Hi,

Somebody can explain me in plain English (sorry I'm not a Guru) how the installation of a ssl certificate from Geotrust/Equifax can be done with WHM, I have try to install one and had a lot of problem: httpd server won't restart after the failed installation, after trying to reinstal I was in the obligation to edit and delete in the httpd.conf all the information about my secure domain, and only after deleting those information I was able to restart apache.

1-to be clear on what is what in the key and certificate:

SSL CERTIFICATE SIGNING REQUEST, this is the CRS that you send to CA (certificate authority), generate by my server.
Equifax Secure eBusiness Certificate, is this the CA key?
Web Server Certificate, this my certificate, generated by Equifax.


In my first installation I use the fetch function to fill the first field (Paste the entire .key file here: ) and then in the second field (Paste the entire .crt file here: ) I copied the web server certificate into this field.

I was able to go to https://secure.mydomain.com but I received an error message:'This server's certificate chain is incomplete and the signer(s) are not registered. Accept?" I assume that the browser was looking for the CA Key?

I received also at the end of the installation a error message "error 20 at 0 lookup:unable to get local issuer certificate"

Where I need to install the Equifax Secure eBusiness Certificate? And what is my secure.mydomain.com.KEY ?


Thank you for your help.SSL Installation problem with WHM.
