I need to install a CA on this server so a website will support SSL. The server does not have a GUI interface and I am not sure where to get started. I am helping someone out who had this server installed for him. He is not a linux person and I have only worked with the GUI Linux interface. We need help getting started. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jmoretti

What version of ubuntu are you running?

cat /etc/lsb-release

Follow this guide, except add the "SSLCertificateChainFile" option pointed to the other file provided by your CA.
