Install SSL certificate on Plesk

While deploying a new server in uncharted territory (environment you never worked with) it is very much possible to encounter shallow waters that you trap your ship of deployment for hours until high rise comes in (write tutorial that is). As the title says following will narrate some steps that needed to make SSL install possible and hopefully will take frustrations out of the process. Following applies to brand new install of Plesk. I assume that you have root access to the server as well.
1. Remove Default Certificate in ssl.conf
It is know that it may cause error like "wrong certificate" when you open any domain via HTTPS.
So look into /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf. You will need to comment out or remove everything in side "...".
This issue wes documented here http://kb.parallels.com/en/939.
- 2. Add New Certificate. I'm not going to cover how to generate CSR and how to get SSL. There are plenty of how-tos and tutorials on-line, plus vendors usually provide in-depth manuals. So, In Plesk admin panel go to Server -> Certificates and click Add New Certificate. Once you've added new certificate we need to delete default certificate.
- 3.Remove Default in Admin Panel You can not just remove default certificate, because it is assigned to IP address of the server. In Plesk admin panel go to Server and click on "IP Addresses". Once on IP Addresses page click on IP address. In IP address form select SSL Certificate from drop-down and click save. No you can remove default certificate. Go back Server and select Certificates. Remove "default certificate".
- 4. Restart Apache Restart Apache:# service httpd restart
- 5. Done At this point you should see right certificate on your default website.
