Hi, I have recently bought a cpanel Licence for my server. and a received an email about : Your free cPanel-signed hostname SSL certificate for nsxxxxx.ip-188-xxx-xxx.eu is available
he certificate covers the following domains: nsxxxxx.ip-188-xxx-xxx.eu www.nsxxxxx.ip-188-xxx-xxx.eu
The problem is In the meanwhile i was going to change the hostname of my server to hosting.mydomain.com So First How can i Install this Certificate because it's not installed yet as i have bad SSL certificate in my Browser? and Can i change the hostanme of the server in Cpanel without break this certificate ?

  Hello, Changing the hostname will automatically generate a new SSL certificate request. You can install the hostname's certificate to Apache using the following option: "WHM Home " SSL/TLS "Install an SSL Certificate on a Domain" Thank you.

  First change the server hostname via WHM " Networking Setup " Change Hostname example, server.domain.com This should automatically generate the free SSL, so you can then go to: WHM " Service Configuration " Manage Service SSL Certificates click "Browse Certificates" and use "Browse Account: root". You should see a certificate for your 'server.domain.com' and the Issuer column should say: cPanel, Inc. If you do not see this, and they all say Issuer: "Self signed", then go into SSH and run the following command:
  # /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts
  You may have to run it a few times as the first time you run it, it usually says about putting the SSL into queue until it runs again, so running
  # /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts
  a second time, will have it actually generate the SSL. Then go back to Manage Service SSL Certificates in WHM and select the cPanel, Inc issued SSL, and check the 4 services boxes and then click install.

  Hello, Try running the following command, as mentioned in the previous post, after updating the hostname:
  /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts
  This should automatically update and install the hostname certificate on the services. Thank you.

  I was looking how to do this manually. So just run
  /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts
  Which works great. But make sure the hostname points to the correct IP.
