CSR-Generation Instructions

To generate a triple-DES encrypted key pair and a Certificate Signing Request (CSR):

Enter the following commands:

1. cd /usr/bin/ (/your path to openssl/)
   Enter a passphrase when prompted to.
2. openssl genrsa -des3 -out <name of your certificate>.key 1024
3. openssl req -new -key <name of your certificate>.key -out <name of your certificate>.csr

If you are requesting a Wildcard certificate, please add an asterisk (*) on the left side of the Common Name (e.g., “*.domainnamegoes.com” or “www*.domainnamegoeshere.com”). This will secure all subdomains of the Common Name.

BTW, Godaddy has the cheapest certificates you can find (with great support).

Make sure you have the EPEL Repository installed in your yum repository, do the following:

Install Git with

> yum install git

Make sure the git package comes from EPEL and not RPMForge. If it comes from RPMForge, then, install yum-priorities:

> yum install priorities

Make sure that yum-priorities is enabled by editing the /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf file, and ensuring that it contains the following lines:

[main]
enabled=1

Add a priority=3 line in the /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo
Add a priority=1 lines in each of the three repo sections in the /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo

Then, do the “yum install git”

Steps:

1. Download OpenOffice (Linux RPM)
2. Copy the .gz file to /tmp/
3. Unpack: tar -zxvf OOo_3.0.0_LinuxX86-64_install_en-US.tar.gz
4. Check if you have already an OpenOffice installed
   > rpm -qa | grep office
   openoffice.org-writer-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   openoffice.org-core-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   openoffice.org-calc-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   openoffice.org-draw-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   openoffice.org-impress-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   openoffice.org-math-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   openoffice.org-xsltfilter-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   openoffice.org-graphicfilter-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
5. If yes, uninstall all rpms with:
   rpm -e openoffice.org-writer-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   rpm -e openoffice.org-calc-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   rpm -e openoffice.org-draw-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   rpm -e openoffice.org-impress-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   rpm -e openoffice.org-math-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   rpm -e openoffice.org-xsltfilter-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   rpm -e openoffice.org-graphicfilter-2.0.4-5.4.17.1
   rpm -e openoffice.org-core-2.0.4-5.4.17.1

   Note: remove the ..-core.. last

6. go to the RPMS/
   cd /tmp/OOO300_m9_native_packed-1_en-US.9358/RPMS/
7. Install all RPMs (in the /opt/ directory
   > rpm -ivh *.rpm

   or in a specific directory

   > rpm -ivh –prefix /mycoolerdir/ *.rpm
8. You should see something like: (probably in bigger font)
