Can you please elaborate on the issue you are facing? What error(s) is returned? Are you attempting to replace the default cert with a third party certificate? We need more information from you in order to help. Thanks!

Best Regards

If you’re looking to install an SSL certificate on your website, you’re making a great move SSL encrypts data between your site and visitors, builds trust, and boosts SEO.

Here’s a simple step-by-step to get you going:

Step 1: Purchase or Generate a Free SSL Certificate

You can buy an SSL certificate from providers like SSL2BUY, GoDaddy, Namecheap, or DigiCert.
Alternatively, go with Let’s Encrypt—it’s free and trusted.

Step 2: Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

You’ll usually generate this from your hosting panel (like cPanel or Plesk).
It includes your domain info and a public key.
Once generated, submit it to your SSL provider.

Step 3: Download the SSL Certificate Files

After your request is verified, the provider will give you a .crt file (and sometimes a CA bundle).

Step 4: Install the Certificate on Your Server

For cPanel: Go to SSL/TLS > Manage SSL Sites > Install. Paste the cert and CA bundle.
For Apache: Place the files on the server, then update your httpd.conf or ssl.conf.
For Nginx: Update the .conf file with the cert and private key paths.

Step 5: Force HTTPS (Optional but Recommended)

Redirect all traffic to HTTPS using .htaccess, or in your server config.

Step 6: Test Your Installation
