SSL Generation & Installation

[thevsp]

As I attempt to establish an SSL certificate for my site, it appears that the correct files are created however when I paste the contents of \".key\" and \".crt\" then press \"Do It\"... nothing happens.

I reviewed some items posted here and tried it with my sites information but the httpd service failed to restart so I had to back out the things I did manually to get the service to start.

If I create a sub-domain called \"secure\", do the forms, etc need to be within this sub-domain directory?

Any clues on how to get this working within WHM?

Thanks Much!

certs need to be installed on dedicated IP accounts. Basically you you could then call any page from that site using https://thatdomain.com/anyfile

I have seen problems with WHM ..but what I do is verify the certs are there and then restart apache and I get SSL. Works for me every time. I have over 20 Certs on one box.

I am using IE 6 under XP so that may be the issue as I have verified that the .key and .crt files were createad. Any particular version of netscape? With netscape, any modifications to the httpd.conf necessary?

Thanks much!

Tried it with netscape 6.2 and received the following response in WHM:

Attempting to verify your certificate.....
13386 : error : 0906D06C : PEM routines : PEM_read_bio:no start line : pem_lib.c:662:Expecting: CERTIFICATE
Sorry the Certificate has a problem
/usr/share/ssl/certs/thevsp.com.crt.test: unable to load certificate file
