Hello

I m trying to install a ssl certificate but i can t get it working.

SSL install aborted due to error: Sorry, you must have a dedicated ip to use this feature for the user: myuserxxx! If you are intending to install a shared certificate you must use the username "nobody" for security and bandwidth reporting reasons.


how can i use the user nobody?

When you install the certificate in WHM-> SSL/TLS-> Install an SSL Certificate and Setup the Domain
below the 1st text area you see "Domain" and "User". You put "nobody" as the user.

Hello :)

I highly encourage you to assign a dedicated IP address to the account before installing the SSL certificate. The use of "nobody" as the username will make it a shared certificate. This requires several manual workarounds to avoid conflicts with Apache.

Thank you.

how can i assign a dedicated ip to the account?

Is there a way to generate it or should i ask my hosting provider (but they dont support software)?

First, you will need an additional IP address, if you do not already have one. Second, you will need to move the account to that IP address, using Home » Account Functions » Change Site’s IP Address.

Ok i just add the new ip adress on wmh, is there anything else i have to do before changing the ip adress? When i order the new ip it was mentionned this: We allocated the IP ''new ip adress'' which is routed to ''the server ip adress''.

Do i have to add also the adress on the Nameserver IPs?

Also i create my NAMESERVERS with my domain provider i don t know if it was the good thing to do, do i need to add a nameserver that is routed to the new ip adress?

Hope i m clear enough

is there something else i need to do before change site ip adress, i ordered the adress, add it on wmh

I noticed that the new ip adress is routed to my server ip adress does it mean i don t need to add a nameserver entry for this ip ?

i m confused since all my nameserver rout to my server ip adress how are they going to rout to my new ip adress?

When you change the IP address of the domain, also the DNS Zone of the domain is changed.
There is no need to change or modify name servers because of that.

Nothing, you just wait.
The propagation takes time, from 2 to 48 hours.

You can check online to see if your domain is pointing to the new dedicated ip.

DNS Lookup tool, Reverse DNS lookup tool - www.DNSWatch.info

Enter the domain name under "DNS Lookup / IP lookup" and click "resolve". if its showing the new dedicated ip then everything is setup correctly. As mentioned by quietFinn it will take some time for the dns to propagate. So you will see a default cPanel page for some time. You can clear the browser cache and try after 24 hours.

Cheers!!!
