    Hello,

    I've seen this happen due to multiple installations of the OpenSSL package. Please post the output from the following commands:

    Code:
    openssl version
rpm -qa | grep openssl
    Thank you.

    The output you have provided suggests a manually compiled version of OpenSSL on your system. Have you manually installed or modified OpenSSL outside of running "yum update" on this system?

    Thank you.

    Could you elaborate on the specific subdomain problem you are facing?

    Thank you.

    I'm having the same problem when AutoSSL is trying to install a certificate, also likely due to manually installed openSSL:

    # openssl version
    OpenSSL 1.0.2j 26 Sep 2016

    # rpm -qa | grep openssl

    openssl-1.0.1e-48.el6_8.3.x86_64
    openssl-devel-1.0.1e-48.el6_8.3.x86_64


    We however, MUST, use 1.0.2j or later. So what can I do to make AutoSSL be able to install certificates again?

    Thanks Michael!

    I have verified my suspicions by removing OpenSSL 1.0.2j (2016), and then WHM can install certs again. However, the problem is that I very much need that version to be use all throughout the system. So how do I get WHM to behave while having this installed? OR have the old version in a separate location and make WHM use that only when installing certs?

    The old version is 4 years old (OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013) - that is a long time.

    Support Request ID is: 8151305

    I got back word from cpanel-support (not Michael), saying it is impossible for WHM to work correctly with newer versions of openSSL.

    If anyone else is having similar problems, there are only two solutions:

    1, Roll back openSSL to the archaic version and move the newer one to /opt/openssl then rebuild everything that need a modern openSSL to look there instead.
    2, Start using something else than CPanel/WHM
