Plesk and installing SSL certificate

Posted by Tim Bowler in Plesk, Sys Admin, tags: ,

Installing an SSL certification in plesk, looked straight forward. But, there are a few gotchas.

When pasting in your certifacte, in the certificate field make sure you copy and paste the private key first. Followed by the certificate. If you puchased an AV certificate (so your domain is green in the IE bar), make sure you get the root and intermediate certificates.

Look in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf for the line like:

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

If it exists you have to delete/comment this default SSL virtual host starting from the
“<VirtualHost _default_:443>” line and ending with “</VirtualHost>“.

Then stop and start (not restart!) Apache server.

- private key then certifacte

- You must paste in the root certificate first! CA intermediator cerficate then root certifecate

    They are not publishing this offer on their site, so, use promo code VSSPEV02 to redeem.

    - Same issue here as we use MediaTemple (dv) servers as well, there's got to be something wrong with the way MediaTemple configures Plesk on their boxes.

    Thanks for the the heads-up and help. Commenting out “SSLEngine on” line in the ssl.conf, is the fix for a MediaTemple Server running Plesk 8 with a 3rd Party SSL Cert.

    Gotta give this one a bump... I can't believe that this is required, but I ran into it on BOTH of the MediaTemple (dv) servers I started lately. All you really need to do is just comment out the "SSLEngine on" line in the ssl.conf to get it to work. Why exactly this is necessary is beyond me. I think it may be distro-specific, because I haven't run into it on the plesk-based DV's I've gotten from other providers than MediaTemple.
  • I do not provide support, but could possibly help. What exactly is the problem?
  • Hi there,

    I was wondring if you provide support for dedicated servers running plesk 8, on linux cent os? I have an SSL problem and i am willing to pay for this to be configured correclty.

    Regards

    Thanks! commenting out "SSLEngine on" in ssl.conf worked for me. I'm using plesk 8 on a MediaTemple dv server
