Description

Our team is currently working to identify the exact cause of this issue, but we have identified that running our checkallsslcerts script at another time will result in a successful certificate installation.

Workaround

Running checkallsslcerts at a different time will succeed, and, optionally, a cronjob can be set up for the root user:

30 20 * * * /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts > /dev/null

Create a Root user cron job
