I recently had a rapidSSL cert expired and decided to use the autossl feature within cPanel and had it install on a domain that has WHMCS installed. When trying to access the SSL or the admin panel, it is very slow and typically times out.

The following is the output from the apache error log:

[Thu May 18 02:50:22.995612 2017] [ssl:error] [pid 2628] (101)Network is unreachable: [client x.x.x.x:50975] AH01974: could not connect to OCSP responder 'ocsp.comodoca.com'
[Thu May 18 02:50:22.995659 2017] [ssl:error] [pid 2628] AH01941: stapling_renew_response: responder error
x.x.x.x being my IP address. Other websites that have autoSSL installed are not having this issue.

Hello,

Do you notice any slowness or connectivity issues when attempting to connect to ocsp.comodoca.com from this system? You can test the connection with a command such as this:

Code:
traceroute -I ocsp.comodoca.com
Thank you.

I also did a continuous ping from that server and it is a solid 7 ms with little fluctuation. When I install a non-cpanel SSL everything works fine.
