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.
