If you already have a ssl certificate from RapidSSL, why do you need a private key?

I'm not sure what you'r trying to accomplish but you can generate your own private key on your computer.

 

1. Download openssl here -> http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

 

AND install it. Make sure you remember where you install because you'll refer to the location later on.

 

2. Assuming you're on windows machine start--run--cmd >>Enter -- you'll get a command (dos) prompt

 

3. Now, this is the part where you need to know the location of openssl.

Assuming it is installed in c:\openssl, type this on the command prompt

 

c:\openssl\bin\openssl genrsa -out name_of_your_private_key.pem 1024

 

*Note: Choose a name that's relevant to you or your site such as my-name-of-webstore-prv-key.pem

 

4. You have just generated your private key. Your private key is inside the file "name_of_your_private_key.pem".

 

5. Navigate through the openssl folders and find your private key. It should be in openssl\bin folder.
