Help installing Comodo SSL certificate on CentOS 7


Hi, I have a VPS server from OVH with CentOS 7 and apache2 and I bought an SSL cert, Im trying to install it but I cant make it work, I saw a lot of guides but most of them refers to how to install self signed certs, I have active https but getting the warn on the browser.

If someone wants to take a look I can leave the root data to access the server, thanks!

Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature. Just saying "cant make it work" tells us absolutely NOTHING that would let us help you. If you're paying for a VPS/hosted server, you should be able to get some sort of support from your hosting company. Also, it would help if you bothered telling us what the "lot of guides" you saw were, and why they wouldn't work for you...installing a certificate is the same no matter where that came from, and there should be only minor differences.

No, sorry...we're not going to provide free tech support/consulting services. If you want someone to fix your server for you, then post this in the LQ Job Marketplace, along with how much you're willing to pay.

I asked for support to OVH but they cant provide support for services from other providers, and about the guides it will be a lot of work if I have to search all them again to post it here, and almost all of them refer to self signed certificates, I tried to install the trusted cert I bought following and making me some idea with those guides.

About the support I didnt ask for free support, if someone wants to help me welcome, and if someone wants to help me with a cost tell me they will be welcome too!

Anyway, I didnt know that here was the LQ Job Marketplace, could be a solution for me, thanks.

Then post ONE of the guides you tried to follow...we can't guess as to what you know, have done/tried so far, etc. AGAIN the steps for installing a certificate are pretty much the same for a self-signed vs. paid. And you're not asking for support from 'other providers'...your hosting company is the one that is HOSTING this site and certificate. For example, documentation for Godaddy:
https://support.godaddy.com/help/art...-apache-centos

And I'm sure your provider has similar documentation.

If you tell people that you'll let them have access, that is almost EXACTLY like asking them to fix it for you. You can participate in the forum and post details, or pay someone to do it.

Also I didnt know that you must reissue your cert when you have a new install generating a new CSR.
