Setting up SSL

[andych]

I just bought SSL certificate, and now I would like to install on my server.

the question is what is Private Key File ??

Is it the ---BEGIN CSR REQUEST ---thing?

and this is what I got from the SSL vendor: ServerCertificate.cer

Should I put on Certificate File coloumn?

It should have
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

There should be two files generated when you create the CSR request, one is the private key file, you never send private key file to anyone.

The certificate signed by SSL vendor should have

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

Is setting SSL Chain mandatory?

Yes, if you use a SSL from a vendor.
