ssl problem - cert install

[EMS]

Hi,

I just installed a certificate via WHM. Something I've done many times before with no problems. The procedure went fine but when I try to navigate to the domain using https://domain.com I simply get a cannot find server message.

Ive checked the httpd.conf and all looks fine. I've restarted the relevent services. Ive cleared out the certs manually and installed it again still no joy.

This is simply a re - issued certificate as the domain moved servers. I was sure to clear out the previous certs and keys for the domain before installing this one.

Any ideas ?

this may seem like a dumb question but is it on its own dedicated IP

I'm glad you asked that becasue this may be the problem.

Usually, I can get away with installing one certificate on the server IP, then any subsequent certs I use an extra IP.

Is this no longer the case ?

I got the exact same problem. I am trying to installed a renewed cert and I cannot get this client's ssl server to start. It is on its own IP btw.

EMS - Did you work out your problem?

Solved my own problem. Apparently Comodo updated their CABundle cert, so when I installed the renewed cert, it would not work with the existing CA Bundle cert like others I have done in the past. So I went ahead and installed the CA Bundle that came with the renewed cert and all is well.

This was the same problem for me. I edited the bundle file for the domain with the new comodo CA cert and it worked !!

Thanks for the heads up.

For anyone else who needs to do this, heres what you do...

1. Get the latest comodo CA from here http://www.instantssl.com/ssl-certif...ate-index.html

2. In /usr/share/ssl/certs for the domain you are having a problem with, there will be a file named yourdomain.cabundle simply edit this file, copying the new cert over the old one.

3. Restart apache

Dont use WHM to do this - pasting the new cert in the bottom box of the certificate install page will not overwrite the old cert.
