You will firstly need to import the thawte Premium Server CA root certificate into your server.

You can obtain the WoTrust CA root certificate by following the instructions in the following solution: root.

2. Create a new file (yourcert.pem) consisting of your private key and your certificate file:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[encoded key]
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[empty line]
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[encoded certificate]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
[empty line]

3. Then save the file as yourcert.pem in the /etc/ssl/certs/ directory.

CAfile=/etc/ssl/certs/root.pem
cert=/etc/ssl/certs/yourcert.pem

7. Restart your web / mail service for the installation to be completed. In some instances, it may be necessary to physically restart the actual machine.
