asked on

replace the test cert with a commercial one (mod_ssl)

hi folks,

i've installed a test cert for SSL on Apache 2.0.45 for Windows 2k, by creating a key, creating a CSR and then installing a temporary test cert. i've used mod_ssl 2.0.48. i followed the steps outlined in:
http://www.devx.com/opensource/Article/20085
and i now have 2 mydomain.crt files, 2 mydomain.key files and one mydomain.csr files, in the \ssl and \bin directories.

now i want to change the test cert for SSL to a commercial cert (Entrust).

do i just remove the existing .csr, .crt and .key files (should i also roll back changes in the httpd.conf, openssl.conf etc.), do i just create new key & csr files ignoring the existing setup, or can anybody point me in the right direction to go about replacing my test cert setup with the commercial one?
