SSL Cert not used by virtual server

Help! (Home for newbies)
1

Hi,

I just bought a signed cert. At the moment there was a self signed cert on the server: XXX.net
I want on domain YYY.NET the cert of YYY.net.
I went to Server configuration => manage SSL certificates, requested a csr, got it signed and put it back.
Copied it to webmin, usermin, dovecot. These all work. Excellent.
Though when I go to https://yyy.net I get the cert error of xxx.net (untrusted, ofc).
What did I do wrong?
I already went to services => Configure Website for SSL and selected in the SSL option the certs I uploaded.
Even rebooted the server.

Help my newb ass pls :slight_smile:

Thanks

Howdy,

You may want to give Apache a restart, just to make sure your new certificate is loaded.

When you browse to your site, and then look at the certificate – is it correctly showing up as being from your commercial SSL provider, and not a locally generated self-signed certificate?

If so, you may need to add a “CA Certificate” to Server Configuration -> Manage SSL Certificates -> CA Certificate. Some providers require that for their certificates, and they should have provided that for you when you bought the certificate.

Eric,

Thanks for your reply!
As always, you provide crucial information.

I rebooted the server, that didn’t work.

It was still showing the old self-signed certificate.

I added the CA certificate (thanks it was required).
I added the CA certificate to the yyy.net:443 virtual server
I restarted apache

It still shows the old cert :frowning:

Any other options? :slight_smile:

Hi,

It’s fixed.
I changed the cert of XXX.net to the cert of YYY.net
The site YYY.net embeds ads from XXX.net Perhaps this might have caused the problem?

Thanks
