    Hello, You are getting SSL warning because you have not installed SSL on your server hostname. I will suggest you install SSL on your server hostname so that you can use that SSL for your WHM, cPanel, Webmail and mail services.

    Thank you for the answer. We actually had a SSL certificate installed on our hostname but the same issue occured. We have in the meantime changed the hostname (through whm hostname change), created an A record and also created a dns zone for the new hostname. We've purchased a SSL certificate through Geotrust for the specific hostname but when we try and install the certificate it says that the user "system" does not exist. I have tried all different possibilities but we're unable to continue. Is there something else we should do after changing the hostname? The hostname IP address is that of the shared IP address of the server. It's also important to note that the previous hostname (which also had a Geotrust SSL certificate) is still "active" on that IP address when we go to SSL storage. We do not want to remove it yet without knowing that all is in order. What I actually don't understand is that if a client were to go to say Also, how would this affect their pop/smtp servers where it use to be mail.theirdomain.com.

    Hello, I will suggest you try to install SSL certifacted for your services theough WHM >> Service Configuration " Manage Service SSL Certificates >> Install a New Certificate, And let me know if you are getting any issues. And regarding webmail URL, Please try to enable " Always redirect to SSL" in your tweak setting so that your all user will be force redirect to your SSL URL.

    What a champion! Your answer solved the problem right away. I have a last question related to the hostname change. When I visit the hostname via browser I receive a blank page with the message "Executing in an invalid environment for the supplied user". When I changed the hostname I followed these steps: 1) Changed hostname via WHM 2) Created a DNS Zone for the new hostname. Any ideas? Thank you!

    Hello, I think you are getting " Executing in an invalid environment for the supplied user " error massage in your browser because your new hostname is not resolving to your server IP. Update the correct "A" record for your hostname and allow some time to resolve it correct IP

    Hello :) You should see the default cPanel landing page when opening your hostname in a web browser. If not, try rebuilding the Apache configuration file via:
    /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
    Thank you.

    Hi Michael, Thank you for the above answer. I have run the script and got the following output. This has also not resolved the issue as our default hostname page still reflects "Executing in an invalid environment for the supplied user" root@c1 [~]# /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf info [rebuildhttpdconf] Missing owner for domain cl6.6-cpanel-tpl.tpl, force lookup to root Built /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf OK

    What do you see in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log when this occurs? Also, are you sure your hostname is not added to any account as either subdomain, parked domain, or addon domain name? Thank you.

    Hi Michael, I can confirm there the hostname is not a sub/parked/addon to any package. There is only a a record to the hostname and then there is a dns zone file for the hostname. I am not sure if the dns zone file should be present for the hostname and can delete it if need be.

    It's acceptable to have a separate zone for the hostname provided the "A" record for it does not already exist in it's parent domain name's zone. What do you see in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log when this error message occurs in your browser? Thank you.
