here's how I added the new cert to my server.  Copy the contents of the cert using Ctrl-C (assuming a
WinBlows machine), then ssh (install ssh don't telnet your password gets sent in plain text, there is a post
in the knowledgebase regarding installation of SSH1 on RAQ2, it works I use it).  Anyway, do this:

cd /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt
then
cp server.crt server.oldcert  (I always like to make copies)
then
rm server.crt
then
pico -w server.crt
then paste the contents of the buffer in (Alt-E-P, in secureCRT)
then
Ctrl-X to exit
then
Y to save buffer
then
Enter (you already typed in the name)
then
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpsd restart

You are all set.  Standard disclaimer this worked for me, your mileage may vary. I'm not responsible if it
doesn't work out, but if you follow the instructions it should. You should copy all the pieces crt, key, etc
and write down your PEM password.

HTH,
