openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.orig.key 2048
openssl rsa -in server.orig.key -out server.key

Generate a Certificate Signing Request

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

Request Certificate from GoDaddy

• Select Apache (2.0) as the web server when downloading
• Unpack download into same dir as keys above
