I have a live server which has cPanel installed on it. It is hosting a website with a SSL certificate that got installed in Cpanel for the cpanel-user hosting the domain.
I now downloaded a backup of this cpanel account to my dev server (and restored it in WHM, dev server is using cpanel too) for testing purposes, however I have a question regarding the SSL:
Does the SSL certificate get copied when the cpanel account gets backed-up?
After changing my host file i am still able to see the website using SSL (even though its on the dev server and there was not a certificate installed). My understanding was that the SSL is specific for each server, because the CSR is done on the server the certificate should run on.
Why am I able to access both live and dev using https?
Yes, SSL certificate will be migrate When you migrate OR restore your account through cPanel/WHM tool.

I'm attempting to move to a new server. The new server is Windows 2022 with IIS 10. I've added my domain, lets use example.com, and added a trusted ssl certificate to it. The site is reachable and only accepts secure connections. I pinged the domain and the ip matches the server.
This is the certificate information when you visit the webpage.
My publish settings are set to that domain for all applications that I'm publishing on this server:
https://example.com:8172/MsDeploy.axd
When I go to publish though, it's giving me a message about an invalid certificate.
It's not seeing the certificate that I have for for mydomain.com. Does WebDeploy use a different certificate when publishing? I thought it would use the domain that I'm connecting to domain.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I'm trying to create a new certificate for my website which is hosted on Windows server 2012.
Currently, I have a self signed expired certificate. I would like to try Let's Encrypt SSL cert. So, I've downloaded latest version of Lets Encrypt from https://github.com/PKISharp/win-acme/releases and ran wacs.exe from unzipped folder.
When I select N=Create new certificate and entered my domain, I'm getting below error.
Expected: Certificate installed
Actual: Authorization failed error
It looks like the server is not reachable from the Internet. Your server must be accessible from Internet in order to allow Let's Encrypt systems to verify the ownership of the domain.
According to the error which appears (NXDOMAIN), it may be that the website is too new (DNS registers can take up to 48 hours to replicate), the DNS are not properly configured to point to your server, or maybe you have a firewall or filter which disallows external connections.
Make sure that you can reach your domain from Internet first and it points to your server, then try again to request a certificate.
I have a problem with my cPanel. I have SSL certificate, but I have done every thing to active SSL certificate but my server does not have (Install and Manage SSL for your site (HTTPS)) this option to active SSL. now, how can I activate my SSL certificate without it? I have attached a screenshot
Most probably if your server do not have option to Install and Manage SSL for your site(HTTPS) that simply means you can not install SSL from your hosting provider. This might be due to you are using free hosting, which do not allow to have this option. In order to use SSL you need to upgrade your hosting account to paid one.
But above all, even if you are on free hosting you can install SSL for free by using Cloudflare. You just need to update your current nameservers to cloudflare nameservers and enable SSL option. That's it. Here is a link to Cloudflare SSL.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
I have a client site set up on AWS with multiple servers running HTPPS behind an Elastic Load Balancer. At some point, someone from the client's team attempted to update the SSL Cert by installing a new one directly on one of the servers (instead of in the ELB).
I was able to upload a new cert to the ELB, but when traffic is directed towards the server with the improperly installed cert, it triggers a security warning.
No one can seem to answer who attempted this install, how they went about, or where they installed it.
What's the best way to go about finding and removing it?
Thanks,
ty
If it's installed on the server, it has very little to do with AWS. I see you tagged the question with apache so I assume the server is running Apache Web Server. You will have to connect into that server and remove the SSL settings from the Apache Web Server configuration, just like you would with an Apache Web Server install anywhere else.
We're migrating a website from a different hosting provider whom uses cPanel to our server which uses Plesk.
I've attempted to copy the text of the private key and certificate over to the appropriate fields in Plesk and submitting; however, visiting the site using the HTTPS throws a "The site's security certificate is not trusted!" error.
I tried to find the CA certificate and it was not to be found in cPanel. I have the CSR, but there doesn't appear to be a place to put it in plesk.
What steps am I missing?
Since you are using linux on both servers, instead of reissuing, you can just export the certificate from your cPanel and install it in Plesk.
I found some links that might help you with the installation:
