GeoTrust Certificates
We have a wildcard certificate for *.surfrock66.com which is used on the actual PlusPlus Hosted www.surfrock66.com site, and is used in the house on any services which are accessible at *.surfrock66.com. Each year, we must purchase it as an add-on to the business hosted package ($140/year), then submit a ticket to PlusPlus Hosting for them to provide a copy of the certificate as a .crt and the key as a .key. They will attach it to the ticket, then after you download it, remove it.
We download the files to sr66-hda at /home/surfrock66/Projects/SSL with the name “wildcard.surfrock66.com.YYYY.EXT” with YYYY as the current year, and EXT as the file extension.
The .crt file needs to be copied to “/etc/ssl/certs/wildcard.surfrock66.com.crt” and the .key needs to be copied to “/etc/ssl/private/wildcard.surfrock66.com.key”. This will apply to all apache sites, and apache needs to be restarted with “systemctl restart apache2”.
