[Tutorial] How to install SSL on hostname?

Hello,

I could see that a lot of users are asking "How to install SSL on hostname" and I found a few tutorials some of which are working and others do not. Also, the tutorials which are working are lenghty and not for linux newbie.

So, I will teach you here how to install and configure Letsencrypt Free SSL on hostname in CWP in simple 3 steps.

1 - Check that you should have an A record for the hostname. For example if your server hostname is cp.hostinpk.com, then you should have an A record for "cp" pointing to server IP

2 - Login to CWP Admin Panel>> Server Settings>>Change Hostname and then hit "Change Hostname" button after putting your desired hostname (in my case cp.hostinpk.com). This will only generate a valid LE SSL for your hostname when an A record is present against hostname

3 - Perform following command from shell

Code: [Select]

service cwpsrv reload
THAT's IT. Enjoy the green padlock while accessing the CWP services (admin panel, user panel, webmail, etc..)

This is my error.

It seems that you have not A record for panel.betahostserver.com.

So, kindly go to DNS manager and add an A record for panel with server IP.

Excellent tutorial jamshed_206, thank you very much, I have had problems lately with this topic and now I have it much clearer.

Can you send me your hostname.

I followed these instructions and without success, I went and obtained a Comodo SSL Certificate but cannot even add that to the server.


[root@hostsrv ~]# service cwpsrv reload
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl reload cwpsrv.service
[root@hostsrv ~]#

No errors

But when I go tot he site the browser keeps saying : 
This site is not secure

And in Opera I can't even override it as I can with MS Explorer

Any suggestions?

ctrl.xfxtechserv.com resolves to 24.154.72.145. Is this the IP of your cwp server?
