Problems with GODADDY SSL Certs - browser giving warning

If you are using a GODADDY SSL CERT, you may be getting a warning when you use some browsers such as Firefox or Netscape… the warning would say something like:
Unknown error, or not trusted, etc

You will need to download their their chain file, here is what how to do that:
wget https://certificates.godaddy.com/repository/gd_intermediate_bundle.crt

Next, you can configure apache to recognize the CA CHAIN FILE… by adding the THIRD LINE below:

SSLCertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/nomonthlyfees.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/share/ssl/private/nomonthlyfees.com.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/gd_intermediate_bundle.crt

the first two lines should already be in the httpd.conf file… just add the last line.

Restart apache!
