• Generate your certificate.csr and private.key with on Apache with mod_ssl

  cd /etc/ssl/domain.tld
  openssl genrsa -des3 -out private.key 4096
  openssl req -new -key private.key -out certificate.csr
  

• Extract all of the contents of the ZIP file that was sent by your SSL provides to you and upload them to your server. The extracted contents will typically be named: yourDomainName.crt and yourDomainName.ca-bundle
• Move all of the certificate related files to their appropriate directories. Move the Private Key that was generated earlier to the private.key directory, which is typically found in /etc/ssl/. This must be a directory which only Apache can access.
• In the VirtualHost section of the file please add these directives if they do not exist. It is best to comment out what is already there and add the below entries.
  

  SSLCertificateKeyFile 		/etc/ssl/domain.tld/private.key
  SSLCertificateFile		/etc/ssl/domain.tld/yourDomainName.crt
  SSLCertificateChainFile		/etc/ssl/domain.tld/yourDomainName.ca-bundle
  

  Save your config file and restart the Apache service.
