i changed th code in the ssl.key to the CSR code that i gived to ssl provider
now i got this problem Failed to install certificate : Private key is password-protected, but either none was entered or the password was incorrect
Howdy,
The ssl.key file should actually be your private SSL key.
Once you generate a CSR and are given an SSL certificate, you no longer need the CSR.
Do you have a copy of the private SSL key that was generated when you created your CSR?

i dont know .. but i thought the CSR is that what i want .. the private SSL dont know exactly where can i find it
Howdy,
At the time that the CSR is generated, that creates two files -- the CSR, and the SSL private key.
What you need later is the SSL certificate which is given to you by your SSL provider, along with that SSL private key.
What process did you use to generate the CSR?
-Eric
i used the ssh commands to generate CSR .. but i am afraid that i deleted the private key .. how could i search for the private key ? and what if i coudnt finde it
thanks erik ;)
its work now erik thank you
i reissued a new key after i have issued a new csr and private key on my vps
Howdy,
It's hard to say how to look for the key -- it depends on what it was named it and where it was stored.
If you can't find it, most SSL providers allow you to create a new SSL certificate using a new CSR, a process they call "Re-keying".
To do that, what I'd suggest doing is to go into Server Configuration -> Manage SSL Certificates, and to use the "Create Signing Request" screen.
That will tell Virtualmin you want it to create a new CSR and private key, and it'll handle creating all that for you.
It'll also make it easy to install the SSL certificate later.
