Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hi!

Im new to Vesta and trying to install a Godaddy SSL:

- Generating CSR through Vesta CP
- Submitting it to Godaddy to rekey
- Downloading the two files from Godaddy: 412070239e008.crt and gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt

Now, what to add in the three boxes in Vesta CP (SSL Certificate, SSL Key, SSL Certificate Authority / Intermediate) ?

I've tried different combinations, but keep getting "invalid chain" errors. The bundle file above contains three begin/end certificate.


Thanks for any pointers!

I am having the same issue.

Actually it is not me who have chosen godaddy SSL, it is damn expensive... I usually use namecheap (8 usd per cert)

anybody have any idea how to install godaddy cert on vesta?

After you generate your CSR make sure you save your Private key it's the only one you need. If you lose that you pretty much screwed, and have to start over by reissuing it with Godaddy.

Just put the 3 keys where they go and your good to go.

• Godaddy cert
• Private key
• Bundle

The steps are simple:

1. VestaCP generate CSR.
2. Save the content generated.
3. Copy and Paste SSL CSR in Godaddy and Regenerate
4. Download Zip and Unzip (name.crt, gd_bundle ...).
5. In VestaCP:

• a. Copy and Paste the content of file name.crt in SSL Certificate.

• b. Copy and Paste the content of SSL Key generated in Vesta (step 2).

• c. The input 3 (optional) copy and paste all content of file gd_bundle.

Save and Enjoy!

I tired to install and followed exactly the same steps.. and I manually verified via SSH into this directory /home/admin/conf/web/

It has 4 SSL related files

1) ssl.mydomain.net.ca = All bundle file/certificate
2) ssl.mydomain.net.key = RSA private key from 3rd box on vestacp
3) ssl.mydomain.net.crt = this contains the certificate generated from SSL provider by entering the vestacp CSR value.
4) ssl.mydomain.net.pem = looks similar to bundle certificate

Domain Setting on Vestacp: check-marked on SSL (YES) and location = public_html/

and the CMS is Ecommerce Magento.

when I'm opening site without ssl like http://www.mydomain.net/ it working but the same unsecured page

But when opening it with SSL link https://www,mydomain.net/ it's showing error

i.e Unable to Connect. on both URLS https://www and https:// without www.

I'm sure there must be something to set inside the apache.conf or sapache.conf

1 more thing I'm using the default template.. NO ngnix enabled for this site mydomain.net

Let me know You or someone can help me out with this thanks.

I just give a try to enable nginx on the domain and the SSL is started working.. but I don't want to enable nginx kindly let me know How the SSL will work in this condition without enabling the nginx.
Thanks

Hi, Were you able to enable SSL without enabling the nginx ? Thanks
