How can I move my purchased SSL cert from my old RaQ3 to my nice new RaQ4? I'd hate to have to dish out another $100 for something I've hardly used.
I assume I'd just copy over the following files:
/etc/ssl/certs
/home/sites/site27/certs/key
/home/sites/site27/certs/request
/home/sites/site27/certs/certificate
/home/sites/site27/certs/certificate.bak
/home/sites/home/certs/key
/home/sites/home/certs/request
/home/sites/home/certs/certificate
Would this work? any better way to do this?

Bobby, Did this work for you?
I am trying to do the same thing, and have not been able to find enough info on it.
Thanks,

I was faced with the same problem when my co-lo went under and kept my RaQ2. I leased a RaQ from Rackshack.net but I didn't have a backup copy of the key file. I had to pay a $50 re-issue fee to get a new own from Thawte.
Recently, my server had to be re-loaded from the restore CD. This time I had my key file. Copied it to the site's /cert folder and used the control panel to manually add the certificate, and it worked like a champ. If you don't use the control panel, then you need to restart httpd from telnet (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart). Good luck.

Am i right in saying that all you need to copy is the certs folder of the virtual site and nothing else?

There are two ways to do this. If you have Telnet access you can copy the key and certificate files to the /certs folder and then restart apache with: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
If you don't have Telnet access then just copy the key file to the /certs folder. Open the certificate file in a text editor and copy it to your clipboard. Go into the RaQ4's SSL settings for the site and paste the certificate into the text box and choose "manually add" (or whatever it says) and click the submit button. This will put a copy of the certificate file in the /certs folder and restart Apache for you.
