Assuming you are using a stock Apache 2.0.
in $APACHE_HOME/conf, there should be a httpd.conf file, Open it and
make sure there is the following line somewhere near the top:
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
In $APACHE_HOME/conf, there should also be a ssl.conf file. Open it
and find the two lines:
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/this/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/this/server.key
Change the SSLCertificateFile entry to point to signed certificate you
got from the CA. I like to put a *.crt on the end of these files.
Change the SSLCertificateKeyFile entry to point to your signing key,
which in you example above is host_key.perm.
Now start apache with SSL by issuing:
$ apachectl startssl
That is the very basics - I assumed you had the default install, so if
your configuration varies much, this may not work for you.
