 +=== UPDATE ON TWO INTERMEDIATE CERTIFICATES 5/7/25 ===
 +

 +
 +<code bash>

 +[root@wiki:/home/g4slv/ssl]# cat 397A66CC2756362E0DAA87CA6EABE3B1.cer 00D27FBBC1DE359E5216AD6149586099C4.cer > ca.pem

 +[root@wiki:/home/g4slv/ssl]# cp ca.pem /usr/local/ssl

 +[root@wiki:/home/g4slv/ssl]# systemctl restart apache2
