Can you help figure out what I do with this the "RSA PRIVATE KEY" Beside put it on my server somewhere. and after I put it somewhere do I have to also put something else somewhere else:) to notify something about another thing I just did somewhere? Huh? I'm so confused

I bought the SSL from TheSSLStore. I got the CSR and all that fun stuff. Now what?

It depends on what you're using for your server control panel. Usually, this is either Plesk or cPanel, and is also usually where you generated the CSR that you sent to TheSSLStore in the first place. You should just need to put the certifcate "BEGIN KEY HERE" stuff back into other input boxes on the same page you generated the CSR. cPanel/Plesk will validate it and let you know that it's for your server.

Let me know what your using, if the above doesn't help, and I'll try to find a good set of instructions.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex, unfortunatly I don't have cpanel. I'm hosting on rackspace cloud and when I got my CSR they told me to go to csrgenerator.com/ I was also told the server I use is Apache2. Maybe this will help.

Unfortunately, I don't know Rackspace's Coudservers at all. Not sure if you've found any documentation on how to install the certificate, but I found the below page which seems to have all the steps necessary:
www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/node/129

Hope that helps get you going. If not, let us know. I'm not sure how much we'll be able to help though.

Thanks,
Alex
