SSL On Server hostname

[asent]

Hey everyone,

How would I go about setting up an SSL on the apache master hostname (eg. host02.myhostingcompany.com) which points to /usr/local/apache/htdocs. The hostname uses the server's main (shared) ip address. I want to set this up here so my hosted accounts who do not have a dedicated ip site could (if they want) go to secure by going to https://host02.myhostingcompany.com/~theirusername/


I configured the SSL for my hostname for imap/smtp/pop/ftp/whm & cpanel services but also want it setup for the master apache domain.

The server host name does not appear in ssl hosts, only the dedicated ip sites appear there. I tried to install for the server hostname but did not work and no username (as there is no cpanel account for the master host and the files being owned by root).

Any suggestions for doing this in WHM or should I do it old school on the cmd with apache. I just don't want cpanel updates to break it.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

Tried with user nobody but got some weird syntax errors. I just created the vhost for the shared ip and server hostname on port 443 in /usr/local/apache/conf/includes/post_virtualhost_global.conf and pointed to my crt, key, and ca files and it worked after apache restart. May be useful for others who run into these problems.

Are you able to post what you added?

Also did you point to the certificate that was installed through the Manage Service SSL Certificates?

Yes, I used the same cert and key files generated when I setup SSL on my services in whm.

Here is the vhost I used:

<IfDefine SSL>
 
<VirtualHost 1.1.1.1:443>
    ServerName server.yourhost.com
    ServerAlias www.server.yourhost.com
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs
    ServerAdmin webmaster@server.yourhost.com
    UseCanonicalName off     
    UserDir public_html 
    <IfModule mod_suphp.c>          
        suPHP_UserGroup nobody nobody    
    </IfModule>
    ## User nobody # Needed for Cpanel::ApacheConf
    CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/server.yourhost.com-bytes_log "%{%s}t %I .\n%{%s}t %O ."
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cgi-bin/
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/server.yourhost.com.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/server.yourhost.com.key
    SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/server.yourhost.com.cabundle
    ErrorLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/server.yourhost.com-ssl_data_log
    CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/server.yourhost.com-ssl_log combined
    SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
</VirtualHost> 
 
</IfDefine>
