    I reviewed the guide in the docs section on configuring HTTPS with virtual hosts. However, I'm still stumped on how to use a commercially purchased SSL cert (from godaddy) on my server. Specifically, I need to generate the CSR to submit to godaddy. Is there a guide anywhere on how to do this? I'm starting to think I should just break down and get the 10-user OSX server so I can do this in a few clicks with server admin.

    Thanks,
    Perry

    Perry, I've done it some time ago. Never documented it on the site and I still have the notes lying around here somewhere. Give me some time and I'll find it out for you. Save yourself some money.

    Perry, could not find the notes anywhere sorry. I can tell you that I just googled for the solution how to do this for apache on linux. It all worked like a charm, however I can't repeat it as it was for a client and I'm not going to buy a certificate just for this. Sorry...

    Here is a link for creating a server key and a certificate signing request for a real SSL cert.
