title: Can I create a .cert and .key file?
body: <p>I'm creating a test server that should use OpenSSL.  I have never made a server so when I read <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ssl/ssl_howto.html" rel="nofollow">the apache how-to</a> I got stuck on the first part; these lines specifically:    </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>SSLCertificateFile /path/to/www.example.com.cert<br>
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/www.example.com.key  </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I don't know what to replace "/path/to/www.example.com.cert" and "/path/to/www.example.com.key" with.  I have a completely blank Windows 2003 VM running the server in an isolated test lab so it is completely barren.  As such, when I searched for a .cert file, nothing popped up.</p>
  
  <p>So can I make them?  Keep in mind, I am just testing.  Oh, should be noted, testing OpenSSL on Apache.</p>
