I just installed a SSL certificate I purchased from a CA. I updated the virtual host server with the following.


SSLEngine on
SSLOptions +StrictRequire
SSLCertificateFile /home/website/ssl/certs/my_domain.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/website/ssl/private/my_domain.key

I am not sure if the certificate is installed and working . I am having problems getting my website software to recognize it.... It just does not work.

Does anyone know how I cat test to see if the SSL certificate is working? Maybe i could create a simple *.php file or something.

Any ideas?

The output stated the following:

No certificates were found.

Output from 'openssl s_client' command:




I am using the following instructions to edit the openssl.cnf file.

Why would I get this error?
