I just bought a 5 year SSL certificate for my domain. After just a few hours, everything was done and I got my .crt (and .csr) file.

So far so good, but how do I use this certificate in apache?
Don't I need a ca.pem and domain.key file?

Just using the .crt alone in Apache causes this:

(using Apache 2.2.11 with OpenSSL 0.9.8)

I believe the ca.perm file can be found in Step 2: Install Root Certificate.
