Installing your new certificate is something that your hosting company typically needs to do for you.

If you have used cPanel to generate its own ssl certificate then this is what is called a 'Self Signed' certificate. It is Issued to and By your domain - which means that it is not a 'Trusted' certificate. For a certificate to be Trusted it has to be issued To your domain but issued By a Trusted Provider of ssl certificates - like Geotrust, GoDaddy etc.
You can use the cert you have created for testing a site, but you wouldn't want to use it for a live website. To use it you need simply to enable ssl in both of the configure.php files.
To get a Trusted ssl certificate then you need to take the code from the CSR to a Trusted Provider and use that to buy a certificate which you then Import to overwrite the self-signed certificate. After this either the Apache or Windows service needs to be restarted for the install to be completed.
