 +=== 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

 +</code>
