GoDaddy SSL on Nexcess Hosting

Instructions for updating or adding a GoDaddy SSL certificate on Nexcess hosting. Originally written July 27, 2011. If there's been changes and you know about them, please file an issue or leave a pull request.

Steps

  1. Renew or set up the SSL on GoDaddy.
  2. Once it is set up, log into the InterWorx Control Panel.
  3. Go to Hosting Features > SSL Certificates.
  4. Go into Private Key, Certificate Signing Request (CSR), SSL Certificate, and SSL Chain Certificate and click the Delete button.
  5. Once you have deleted the Key, CSR, and both Certificates, go into Private Key and click the Generate button.
  6. Go back and to SSL Certificates and go into Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and fill out the information needed, and click Generate.
  7. Once the CSR is generated, you need to copy all of the text in the box, from -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- to -----END CERTIFICATE----- (including that text).
  8. Go back to the GoDaddy account control panel and go to SSL Certificates. Click the Manage Certificate button.
  9. This will take you to the SSL Certificates Control Panel. Check the box next to the proper domain and click the Re-Key button above.
  10. Paste the CSR data you copied from the dialog box and click the Re-Key button.
  11. When finished, download the SSL as "Other". Unzip the file and it will have two files in it:
  12. gd_bundle.crt
  13. domain-name.com.crt (Or whatever other domain it could be)
  14. Open these files in a plain text editor.
  15. Go back to the InterWorx Control Panel and go into SSL Certificate. Copy and paste the domain-name.com.crt text into the box and click Install.
  16. Once successful, go back, and go into SSL Chain Certificate. Copy and paste the gd_bundle.crt text into the box and click Install.
  17. You're done.

There is additional info on this page that helps somewhat, but not as much as the stuff I figured out above: http://docs.nexcess.net/ssl-tutorial
