    Hi. One of my websites hosted on a shared cPanel server have an SSL Certificate.


    I was able to find www.mydomain.com.crt and www.mydomain.com.key in the /home folder of the cPanel account.

    How can I install this on my CentMinMod VPS now?

    I have already moved all my sites files onto the VPS, just need to get the SSL up and running.

    a paid SSL certificate ? if so you still need to follow instructions at Nginx HTTPS / SSL Google SPDY configuration to convert and concat the SSL cert, root and intermediate certificates into Nginx specific files for Nginx to read

    Yes but the only files I have is the .crt and .key file.

    I dont have any intermediate files

    you'd need to get them from your paid SSL certificate provider

    I ended up buying a Wildcard alpha SSL.

    I have the following files now

    domain.com.crt intermediate_domain.com_ca.crt star_domain_com.csr star_domaincom.key

    I created bundle.crt from doing

    cat domain.com.crt intermediate_domain.com_ca.crt > bundle.crt

    Edit: Got everything installed and working now
