WHM SSL Cert Expired Can't Login - Need Help ASAP please!

[zelf]

My SSL Cert expired. Through SSH I replaced the old SSL cert with the new one. Attempted to restart cpanel, but it did not work.

Attempting to restart service httpd restart I get a warning that DocumentRoot [/public_html] does not exist.

Need help.

Due to the expired WHM certificate firefox was correctly producing an error. Did not realize that all I had to do was temporarily allow the expired certificate so that I could login to WHM and then install a new certificate for WHM.

Problem solved, and for any other dummies like me out there that did not realize the temporarily allow expired certificate in the browser fix, hope this helps.
