<h3>Apache</h3>

1. Copy the certificate to the directory that you designate. This is the directory in which you plan to store your certificate. <br>
''(Default: /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt or /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt)''

2. Open the '''httpd.conf''' file in a text editor.

3. Locate the secure virtual host pertaining to your order. You should have the following directives within this virtual host. Please add them if you do not.
<pre>
SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt/mydomain.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key/mydomain.com.key
</pre>

'''Only for ''Comodo'' or ''Starfield'' certificates:'''
<pre>
SSLCertificateChainFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key/mydomain.com.ca
</pre>

4. Save the changes and exit the editor.

5. Start or Restart your apache Web server. <br>
''(Default: /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl or /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart).''

6. Test your certificate by connecting to your server. Use the https protocol directive (e.g. https://yourserver/) to indicate you wish to use secure HTTP.
