Ubuntu + Apache + OpenSSL, and PositiveSSL from CheapSSLs.com

After purchasing a PositiveSSL cert from cheapssls.com go to My SSLs and activate the SSL. First it will ask you to supply the a CSR, to do this log in to your server and enter this command

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048

chose a pass phrase to generate a RSA file, followed by:

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

enter all required information, to generate the CSR file.

Grab the content of the CSR file and copy/paste into the My SSLs activation.

Fill out the following form, receive an email with a verification code, follow the link, paste and activate to receive your certificate files in another followup email.

You should receive a zip file with 3 certificates

Root CA Certificate - AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt
Intermediate CA Certificate - PositiveSSLCA2.crt
Your SSL Certificate - yourDomain.crt

copy paste the contents from those files into a new file on your server yourDomain.ca-bundle

IMPORTANT make sure each -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- is on an individual line with no space between them

create a folder /etc/apache2/ssl and copy 3 files into this directory

server.key (The RSA file)
yourDomain.crt (from the email)
yourDomain.ca-bundle (which we just created)

If not enabled yet run

a2enmod ssl

Create a new site in /etc/apache2/sites-available/yourdomain-ssl.conf
Example vhosts file

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName yourdomain.com

        ServerAdmin youremail@yourdomain.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/yourdomain.com/public

        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/yourdomain_com.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key
        SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/yourdomain_com.ca-bundle
</VirtualHost>

and enable that site
