SSL certificate install in cpanel

I have got a Comodo ssl certificate but I can not figure out how to install it on my server on the comodo forum the install says MHM/cpanel but I just show how to install on WHM and not cpanel I have a paid host I can install certificates from cpanel but just dont know what steps to take on the install if anyone can help or know of a site with install instuctions would be helpfull thank you

The cPanel SSL manager(mod_ssl) is known to be glitchy....or not work

Can you have your host install this?

I don't know if they will they have a shared SSL certificate but not for sure how to use it

I don't know if they will they have a shared SSL certificate but not for sure how to use it
I was refering to your private COMODO Cert being install by your host and not a shared cert

that is what I am talking about to I was just stating they have a shared cert but I don't know how to use it either

Then I do not know why you referred to a "Shared Cert"???

Your Host should be able to easily install this COMODO Certificate for you.

Ok this is the first time tring to install one

I emailed my host and they replied I could install it from the cpanel so I guess its a lost cause in setting up the cert

Reply back to them and ask how,** exactly**, to do it, or ask for the link to a help file about it. You have to stand up for yourself with hosting companies sometimes, or they will treat you like spit. Make it clear to them that your account with them is at stake...

I found this, perhaps you can use it..

an i got this from godaddy:

the last section pertains to setting up cert in cpanel.... who is your host company?

ok will do that right now thanks for the reply

u bet....netime

If they have the SSL mod available in c-panel ( we dont cause it sux )
then you need to hit that and you will see where to paste the CRT and the Ca- bundle,

then hit go

this will be in the same place that you created the CSR for comodo

I did everything that the support site at comodo said to do with the key and the crt with the ca-bundle the cetificate is there just getting a 404 page not found error

my host is wanting me to use there shared certificate or purchase another one through Thawte

Ok I got the shared certificate to work but the only way was to change the admin/includes/configure.php /includes/configure.php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://my.domin);
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://prime.host-care.com/~subdomain);

so wen I click on log in it takes me to
https://prime.host-care.com/~subdomain/index.php?main_page=login&zenid=678a4a22414b2e05d1056be45a355d2b

is there anyway of getting this pointed back to my domian instead of the prime-cost-care.com

well, it seems you are running into a problem of having NOT paid the hosting company for THEIR certificate upon which they gain profit, combined with the reluctance on their part to support properly the comodo certificate beacuse, again, you do not pay them enough to want to bother with it.

Do you have root access to the server named in the url you posted? If so it is easy. If the hosting company has root access, and won't give it to you, then no, you can't change it yourself, you will have to convince them to do it for you...

the shared certificate came free with my hosting plan

I have root access to my domain is that what you mean or to the actual server it is on ?

nah, the server itself. the hosting company will be in control of it unless you have a dedicated server (or some similar setup) there. It seems that the cpanel should offer you a way to do it, perhaps... but i think they just need to go in and rewrite the url it is pointing at. What is the hosting service telling you? that you did it wrong, or that they won't support the comodo certificate, or what? what is the reason they give for not telling you how to fix it or point you to a help file? perhaps you should consider changing hosting companies...

They realy did not give a reason just told me either use the shared or buy another cert

I advise you to haul up stakes, pop smoke, and move out... get a decent hosting service and not these amateurs...
