Hi I have setup ISPConfig using the The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu 6.10 Server (Edgy Eft) guide. I am successfully running my domain completely self-hosted now but I am however having a problem with my SSL certificate. I can successfully create the signing request, but when I copy-and-paste the request to the SSL provider they tell me the hostname www.mhpcomputerservices.com does not match the original certificate of hostname of mhpcomputerservices.com So my question is, is there a way to generate the certificate without the www? Thanks Marcus
Why do you want to create it wthout www? Then your customers get a browser warning when they access https://www.mhpcomputerservices.com
Thanks for your reply. The SSL certificate was already created and issued to another server without the www and I'm not sure if I can get it changed at the SSL provider. Now I have moved the site to self-hosted I have discovered this problem with the www hostname when trying to issue the SSL certificate. It's an e-commerce site and the shopping cart software automatically redirects the url to https://mhpcomputerservices.com when entering SSL mode. Has anyone got any ideas? Thank Marcus
You vcan use the SSL certificate request, the key and the certificate from your old server and replace the certificate files that ISPConfig created in the ssl folder in the website directory. Then restart your apache webserver.
