I've been in contact with my ssl provider's support.
they think that vesta doesn't recognize comodo certificates for some reason.
i found instructions to install them manually but don't understand where vesta's virtual host files are.
they aren't in the sites-available directory like usual.
anyone successfully installed ssl with vesta have a tutorial?

I used a Comodo PositiveSSL and it wouldn't take so I ended up reissuing it, which solved the problem.

i have ssl key and ssl certificate entered when setup domain. what else i need to do? whare to find SSL Certificate Authority / Intermediate? when it empty it sad Error: certificate authority not found

You must fill the optional field with the certificate authority information. It is not optional... for godaddy it is the gd_bundle.crt file you received with your certs.

i use startssl.com certificate ... so, what Certificate Authority / Intermediate to put?

What's file did you get on downloading your cert? Based on little I know about Startssl I looked up and found this link http://www.startssl.com/certs/ in that directory is a file ca-bundle.crt that would be what I'd think you would use. If it doesn't work tell me what files you received and I'll try to help more.[/quote]

just for reference, this works. downloading the ca-bundle.crt from ]http://www.startssl.com/certs/ and used the content as "SSL Certificate Authority / Intermediate (optional)".

EDIT : messed up quote, my reply/post in bold.

Hi okwme,

Are you still having issues with Comodo RapidSSL Cert's?

If you are please let me know, AS I think I may have the answer .. :D (Had the same issue)

Thanks, Liam.

Hey Liam,

I'd love to know how you worked it out!

You have to include the whole certificate chain in the .crt file.

You have to also use the 'Decrypt Private Key' tool in the toolbox and paste in your private key and type in your password, then it will give the a decrypted output of which you paste into vesta ssl key box as well as complete chain from that cert file you download above as mentioned and also of course your actual cert into its box and its uploads and works. I can make screenshots of some are still lost.

Replying to okwme whose question I also faced:

To find and edit my NGINX server blocks, I ended up doing this...
(where <usr> is each user you have defined in Vesta) Hope this might help anyone.

Same problem here, did you guys find the solution for it?
