    Today my ssl certificate expired and I want to renew it. got the new crt file from the cacert.org and entered http://host.abcdef.com:2086/scripts2/installcpsslhtml and pasted in my key, domain (host.abcdef.com), crt file. I clicked on Do it button and this is what I get:
    now... I close and re-open the browser and enter the https://host.abcdef.com:2087/ it shows me my old ssl crt file is outdated...

    anyone came up with a similar issue?

    I have exactly the same problem. Been looking everywhere on the server for old info (made sure for example that both /etc/ssl and /usr/share/ssl contain the right stuff). Can't find anything usefull, the only subsystem I managed to update is Exim. CPanel, CPPOP and IMAP all use the old cert. Even after restarting with /etc/inid./cpanel4 start.

    I'm starting to think there is a bug somewhere, since this has always worked fine for me!

    Found the solution, it's the stunnel bug that's causing this. See

    Someone else already did, #4164.
    Hope they fix it, it might be an annoying small bug for people that do something with their SSL cert.

    cert expired

    I had the same problem this morning... The WHM server certificate is expired. I used the "Reset Server Certificates" from WHM but iit did not worked, certificate still expired. Restarted cpanel without succes. Here's what worked for me after a "Reset Server Certificates":
    /usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/stopstunnel
    /usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/startstunnel

    It seems that when reseting the server certificate, stunnel has not been restarted properly.

    Good luck!

    stunnel restart did not work for me

    however, i did notice that https without the port uses the new cert, but when access the url with a port, it reverts back to the old cert.

    strange to me.

    We had the same problem. From a shell prompt kill stunnel. The run service cpanel restart. For some reason (can't remember which script has it wrong) stunnel is not getting killed (and therefore not restarted) so your new cert does not get picked up.

    Yes, Fixed! cert renewed but cpanel says expired.

    /usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/stopstunnel
    /usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/startstunnel

    did not work alone

    but then service cpanel restart

    and VOILA! Success.

    Excellent thread.
