For Apache v1.X
1. Please ensure the correct Intermediate root CA certificates have been copied to your web server. As the Intermediate root CA certificates differ depending on the product, please click here for detailed instructions if you have not already copied and installed the relevant Intermediates. Each Intermediate is specific to your SSL product and should be saved using our suggested naming convention of "gs_domain_ca.crt" for DomainSSL, "gs_organization_ca.crt" for OrganizationSSL or "apache_ev_bundle.pem" for the ExtendedSSL bundle file
2. Copy your certificate out of the order fulfilment e-mail (or log into your GlobalSign Certificate Center account and download it) and paste it into a text editor (such as vi).
3. This file is your SSL Certificate and should be saved as “mydomain.crt” or a file name that is easily recognizable.
4. Copy “mydomain.crt” to the directory in which you plan to store your certificates.
5. Open your httpd.conf file (some installations keep the SSL section separately in the ssl.conf file) using a text editor, and locate the virtual host section for the site for which the SSL Certificate will secure.
- Your virtual host section will need to contain the following directives:
SSLCertificateChainFile - This will need to point to the appropriate Intermediate root CA certificates you previously created in Step 2 above and should have named as either: "gs_domain_ca.crt", "gs_organization_ca.crt" or "apache_ev_bundle.crt"SSLCertificateFile - This will need to point to the end entity certificate (the one you have called “mydomain.crt”)SSLCertificateKeyFile - This will need to point to the private key file associated with your certificate.
6. Save the changes to the file and quit the text editor
7. Restart apache.
