2) Create a combined .pem certificate file

Open a text editor and paste the contents of your certificate and the private key one after another in the following order:

1. Your SSL cert
2. The Private Key (your_domain_name.key)

Include the 'BEGIN' and 'END' tags on each. The result should look like this:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Primary SSL certificate: your_domain_name.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Save the combined file as ssl247pack.pem
