SSL Certificate on a Shared IP

Hello, The issue here is that a shared IP is shared by all domains on the machine. You can install the SSL onto the user nobody and still use an individual domain, but any user going to site content even when using site) You cannot share an IP and still have the SSL only work on one domain name. Everyone is going to be able to see that other site on https. You have to have a dedicated IP for only that user to show https:// for their domain name. Most hosts will let you purchase an additional IP, and any host running Apache is going to have this same issue with a shared IP showing the content for the one domain for all other sites when loading https in a browser. Now, if you do not care if other sites load the one domain and only care if the one domain works for https, you would need to take one further step to get it working on the shared IP. In root SSH after installing as the user nobody, you'd need to do the following:
cp /var/cpanel/userdata/nobody/thisdomain.com_SSL /var/cpanel/userdata/username/thisdomain.com_SSL
Replace thisdomain.com with the domain name and username with the cPanel username of the account. At that point, you'd then open up the file at /var/cpanel/userdata/username/thisdomain.com_SSL after backing it up:
cp /var/cpanel/userdata/username/thisdomain.com_SSL /var/cpanel/userdata/username/thisdomain.com_SSL.bak vi /var/cpanel/userdata/username/thisdomain.com_SSL
Then edit the following lines (these are taken out of order as there are other lines that I am not showing which do not need to be edited):
documentroot: /home/username/public_html/ group: username homedir: /home/username user: username
As previously, replace username with the cPanel username. To replace the httpd.conf (Apache configuration) file with the new content, then you'd run these commands to backup httpd.conf, rebuild it and restart it:
cp /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.bak110125 /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf /scripts/restartsrv_httpd
Thanks.
