Trying To Set Up A SSL Certificate On My Dedicated Server
Jan 9, 2008
getting my SSL certificate loaded properly onto my dedicated server.
The initial problem was with when I tried to log in via WHM or cPanel, I got this notice displayed on the page:
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.
Click here to close this webpage.
Continue to this website (not recommended).”
I figured that to get rid of the notice displayed, then I would need a SSL certificate, so I bought one from Trustwave.
Everything went okay with the initial download and things were running smooth until I got to installing the intermediate certificate but I just can't find
where the installation instructions say to place the certificate.
Downloading the certificates isn't the problem. It is the instructions (see below) which were copied from Trustwave’s own “sslcertificates/install” link which tell me what to do, all okay, just I can't find where to install the intermediate certificate in WHM!
Instructions given by Trustwave are -
"Save the xroot.crt file to a directory on your server, and be sure to note
the directory path. Generally, you can find Apache's configuration file in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, but you may need to search for it. Sometimes the SSL configurations are in a file called ssl.conf.
Open the configuration file in a text editor and search for the virtual
host. You can search by your server's address or IP address. Once you find the virtual host which matches your host, look for two lines that start with SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile. Add (or adjust) a line right below those two that shouldread: SSLCACertificateFile /path/xroot.crt
Save and close the configuration file."
I don't know where to find places such as "Apache's configuration file in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf" and "ssl.conf" - in WHM/cPanel does anybody know where these places are? And I have just noticed that I'm back to getting the "untrusted website stuff" displayed when I try to log onto either cpanel or WHM in my server.

transfer an SSL certificate from our current server to our new one. They both run on Apache.
Is it just a case of transferring the SSL license key and cert over? What needs to be added in Apache's httpd.conf file?

I’ve read the documentations of (PBAS, Plesk, and Securing Websites).how to add SSL Certificate to our Webmail? In addition, I need to know, how to request CSR key and install SSL for our mail server in order for us to protect our emails and to use the SSL Protocol in mail softwares such as Outlook? I will explain the scenario in details:
1- We have (www.example.com) which is our "Plesk Server hostname" and a subscription in our "Plesk Server".
2- We have (pbas.example.com) which is our "PBAS Server hostname" and it's not a subscription in our "Plesk Server".
3- We have (account.example.com) which is a "Subscription" in our "Plesk Server".
Here are the DNS records of our domain and subdomains:
Host-Type-Data
-A-192.168.1.30
www-A-192.168.1.30
mail-A-192.168.1.30
pbas-A-192.168.1.31
account-A-192.168.1.32
-MX-example.com.
how to generate CSR key for each domain/subdomain and how to install the SSL for it? Our "Plesk" is 11.5 and installed on CentOS 6.4.

I'm facing problem with latest Apache 2.4.9. Previously we used Apache 2.4.7 ​version which supports DER SSL certificates. But Latest Apache(2.4.9) is not working with DER SSL certificates. I have to convert DER certificate to PEM format to start the Apache server. Am i missing anything ? Is DER certificate not supported in Apache 2.4.9 ?

I am currently using a shared hosting but due to increasing traffic and server load my existing host is not able to provide reliable services and I am planning to upgrade my hosting service.
While I was searching for Dedicated Servers, I learnt about Virtual Dedicated Servers but I am not very sure about their reliability? Are Virtual Dedicated Servers useful? My website current serves over 2500-3000 visitors a day resulting in 30,000 pageviews and I am expecting the traffic to grow by atleast 2 folds in the next few months as I start some PPC campaigns and Email Marketing for my website. Can a Virtual Dedicated Server cater such needs assuming my website to be more of less dynamic website written in php?

I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription
2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents
3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??

I'm a a JAVA software developer and it happens that I need to configure a dedicated server running Win 2003.
It's already up and running with static IP address, however hosting offers a "Static IP Address", which doesn't really make sense, cause I already have one?
Other thing is domain name. Current domain name is registered with a different company and we don't really want to transfer it from that company. Can I get away with importing a domain name and changing MX records in the domain control panel?
Last thing is an email server. What do I need to set up an Email Server? I have a domain name with few POP3 email addresses. I thought about using hMail server for windows. What else do I need to do, pay for?

Whats the easiest way to create a private server within a dedicated server running cpanel/WHM/Fantastico?
I need to allow this 'virtual server', to host up to 10 domains, and for them to use their own nameservers, not the ones used on my dedicated server.
I have 2 IPs to spare, but I have no idea on how to do this.
Any help is much appreciated, or if you can guide me on where to get info on this.
i need this new reseller NOT to be identified with my own server (IPs)

I want to use SSL on my website.
[url]
I don't really get the differences (and it seems all companies offering SSL offer different types of certificates.. don't even know where they overlap)
Can someone recommend where I could get an SSL certificate and why I should choose between a $15/year one and $100+/year?

I am running a site that currently has a Geotrust SSL cert installed (Plesk 7.5.3). That certificate is about to expire and I am going with one from a new vendor. My question is, do I need to generate a new CSR before requesting the new certificate or do I use the CSR from the current one and just upload the new certificate file (overwriting the current one) when I get it?

i just got this ssl certificate but i have some doubts how exactly should i set up the whole magic. i created the secure.domain.com which suppose to be the sub-domain for the login page which means when user decide to sign up/login to immediately transfer to the ssl state(sample: see ebay.com and then their https login page). so, far the home page which is domain.com(or www.domain.com) it doesn't need to be covered by the ssl. so, i was just wondering how do i play the game? i know it's kinda tricky and the key is somewhere in the sub-domain name(cP set up), .htaccess and/or index.php files but not very clear to me.

My online store is almost ready to publish and Im trying to work my head around this SSL thing.
So through reading on here Ive determined that only the cart or PII areas need to be secured, not the entire site.
My host provided a free SSL cert but I discovered that it is a domain verification SSL only and there is no "clickable seal" or business verification. Verification is important however Im not sure I need an EV cert (nor that I can afford it).
Im looking for business verification, clickable seal, 128/256, 2048bit, free reissue.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a SSL cert and what I might need? There was someone in the ads forum offering a GlobalSign OrganizationalSSL cert for $100yr. Does this seem like a good deal? There isnt a lot of feedback about GlobalSign on the net.
