From where did you obtain the SSL certificates? Typically, each provider will have a help page that lists the steps necessary to install the certificate in IIS, and Apache, at the least.

from Comodo

Extract all of the contents of the ZIP file that was sent to you and copy/move 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.
A typical setup:
Move the Private Key that was generated earlier to the ssl.key directory, which is typically found in /etc/ssl/. This must be a directory which only Apache can access.
what they mean PRIVATE KEY ?

The private key is the key you generated when generating your CSR.

can i generade CRS again ,how?
No, the CSR is what was generated to begin the process of obtaining your SSL certificate. If you can't locate it, you may be able to contact Comodo support to see if they can help you with it.
