Let\u2019s take a look at this process.<\/p>\n<h2>CSR and Private Key Generation<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Connect to Your Server<\/h3>\n<p>Start by accessing your server&#8217;s terminal using Secure Shell (SSH). This will allow you to run commands directly on the server.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Create Private Key and CSR<\/h3>\n<p>Please use the OpenSSL tool to generate your Private Key and CSR files. Type the following command:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-with-bg\">\n<div>openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout example.key -out example.csr<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT!<\/strong> Make sure to replace example with your actual domain name. <\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Enter Certificate Information<\/h3>\n<p>After running the command, you will be prompted to input details for your certificate. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Country Name: <\/strong>Enter the two-letter country code (for example, IT for Italy).<\/li>\n<li><strong>State or Province Name:<\/strong> Full name of your state or region.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Locality Name:<\/strong> Your city or town&#8217;s name.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Organization Name:<\/strong> The company&#8217;s legal name.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Organizational Unit Name:<\/strong> Typically &#8220;IT&#8221; or &#8220;Web Administration&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Common Name:<\/strong> Your Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Email Address:<\/strong> Enter a valid email address.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT!<\/strong> The optional fields, such as Challenge Password, may be left blank.  <\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Generate Files<\/h3>\n<p>After completing the prompts, OpenSSL will create two files:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Private Key File (.key file): Please save the Private Key as you will need it later for the certificate installation.<\/li>\n<li>CSR (.csr file): You will need to submit it to the vendor to proceed with the certificate generation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To check if the CSR was created correctly, you can view its contents with the following command:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-with-bg\">\n<div>openssl req -text -noout -verify -in example.csr<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This will display the CSR details and confirm its validity.<\/p>\n<p>Please submit the CSR to the vendor via the order page in the CheapSSLSecurity Client Area and proceed with the order verification.<br \/>\nHere you may check more detailed information regarding the order validation process<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.cheapsslsecurity.com\/support\/solutions\/folders\/22000164534\">https:\/\/knowledge.cheapsslsecurity.com\/support\/solutions\/folders\/22000164534<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once the verification is completed and the SSL is issued, please download the certificate files and proceed with the installation.<\/p>\n<h2>SSL Installation on CentOS 8<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Verify and Install mod_ssl on Your System <\/h3>\n<p>Begin by executing the following command to determine if mod_ssl is already installed on your system.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-with-bg\">\n<div>rpm -qa | grep mod_ssl<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If it appears that mod_ssl is not present, proceed with the installation using this command:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-with-bg\">\n<div>dnf install mod_ssl<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Step 2: Upload the SSL files<\/h3>\n<p>Create the combined file that will include the Private Key,  which was generated together with CSR as a pair and should be saved on your own, your SSL certificate, Intermediate, and Root certificates, which are provided by the vendor. To create the combined file, run this command:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-with-bg\">\n<div>cat pub-key.pem ca-chain.pem > full-chain.pem<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Next, navigate to your Apache server and store the PEM file along with the SSL chain in the following directory:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-with-bg\">\n<div>\/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Private Key should be saved it in this directory:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-with-bg\">\n<div>\/etc\/pki\/tls\/private\/<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>To ensure that your Private Key is secure and not accessible to unauthorized users, apply this command:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-with-bg\">\n<div>chmod -R 600 \/etc\/pki\/tls\/private\/<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Step 3: Apache configuration<\/h3>\n<p>If the configuration file for your domain has not been created, you will need to create one.<br \/>\nSave it in  <strong>\/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/<\/strong> directory. The file should be created with the .conf extension. <\/p>\n<div class=\"code-with-bg\">\n<div>nano \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/example.tld.conf<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>You may use the following configuration:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-with-bg\">\n<div>&lt;VirtualHost *:443><br \/>\nSSLEngine on<br \/>\n# The path to the complete chain of your SSL certificate<br \/>\nSSLCertificateFile \/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs\/full-chain.pem<br \/>\n# The path to the Private Key<br \/>\nSSLCertificateKeyFile \/etc\/pki\/tls\/private\/privkey.pem<br \/>\n# The path to the content of your website.<br \/>\n<Directory \/var\/www\/example.tld.><br \/>\nAllowOverride All<br \/>\n<\/Directory><br \/>\n# The path to the content of the website<br \/>\nDocumentRoot \/var\/www\/example.tld.<br \/>\n# Domain name of your website<br \/>\nServerName example.tld.<br \/>\nServerAlias www.example.tld.<br \/>\n<\/VirtualHost><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT!<\/strong> Be sure to replace \u2018example.tld\u2019 with your actual domain name.<br \/>\n<strong>IMPORTANT!<\/strong> Remember to close the file and save all modifications before exiting.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Restart Apache and Finalize Setup<\/h3>\n<p>To apply your changes and restart the Apache server, execute this command:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-with-bg\">\n<div>systemctl restart httpd<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If the server restarts without any issues, your installation process is now complete.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>If you have successfully completed these 4 simple steps, your certificate is installed. <\/p>\n<p>You can check if it works properly using our <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslsecurity.com\/ssltools\/ssl-checker.php\">SSL Checker<\/a>: <\/p>\n<p>Please refer to our Knowledgebase if you need any additional information, as well as you are always welcome to contact our Support Team: <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.cheapsslsecurity.com\/support\/solutions\">https:\/\/knowledge.cheapsslsecurity.com\/support\/solutions<\/a><br \/>\nFor the CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 SSL installation manual, kindly refer to this <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslsecurity.com\/p\/how-to-install-an-ssl-certificate-on-apache-with-centos-6-7\/\">manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this article, we will go over the step-by-step instructions on how to install the SSL certificate on the Apache Web Server for CentOS 8.
