Every year I have to renew my GoDaddy SSL on my Fedora Virtual Host and every year I forget how to so it (and Go Daddy's docs don't help much) so I wrote this little tutorial... From GoDaddy's 'Manage Certificates' interface, download: yourdomain.com.crt gd_bundle.crt …and drop them into /etc/pki/tls/certs Go Daddy's docs advise you to now restart Apache (once you've configured ssl.conf) and if you do, Apache will fail because... you need to MANUALLY upload www.yourdomain.com.key to /etc/pki/tls/private What's confusing is that there's no way to obtain www.yourdomain.com.key from the 'Manage Certificates' interface You need to log into Simple Control Panel and click the SSL Certificates icon then click the edit icon on your latest certificate files. From there, you need to copy and paste the contents of ‘intermediate certificate chain’ and paste into a file called www.yourdomain.com.key which can then be uploaded to /etc/pki/tls/private Restarting Apache will now work (not FAIL)
