create a new ssl certificate for my webserver

[timgerr]

I have a new Centos 5 install and when it was built a ssl certificate for https was created with localhost.localhost. I am using subversion and I keep getting errors that the certificate is localhost.localhost. I need to create a new certificate, what do I have to do and is there anything I have to do in order to not screw up my webpage?

Thanks,

Try

http://sial.org/howto/openssl/self-signed/,

or

http://www.technocage.com/~caskey/openssl/

for a start.

Creating the certificate files won't do anything to your webpage. You'd have to apply them to the web server configuration.

I found out what to do, in RH5/Centos% there is a /etc/pki/tsl directory and there is a command (I think it is getkey) to create a new cert/key.

Thanks for the help
