Re-create Hostname SSL certificates

Hello, I am in the process of setting up several cPanel VPS servers. I cloned a cPanel server, changed IP and hostname but it still has the original hostname in the SSL certificates and is therefore not trusted when you go to WHM. I tried running /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts but this didn't seem to update the service certificates. Is there a way to force it to recreate all the service SSL certificates with the new hostname? Thanks, Eric

  Hello, Would also be interested in how to solve this w/o any issues. Had to move some accounts from an old to a new VPS. But after changing the providers hostname to our hostname, the root SSL certs are still the wrong ones. Thanks & cheers Hermann

  Have you tried resetting the certs from here: WebHost Manager "Service Configuration "Manage Service SSL Certificates

  Actually, I ended up getting a email with the new host certificate in it and did exactly this pasting the new cert to all the services. However, on a couple other servers I cloned, simply doing a /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts regenerated the certs without me needing to manually paste them so not sure what the difference was.

  Yes, but these are self-signed certs now. There is no root cert available for the new hostname, only some old and for the wrong hostname are listed in SSL/TLS >> SSL Storage Manager. Do I have to wait for a longer time till the cert for the new hostname will be assigned? BR Hermann

  Hello, I would check if the A record exists for the new hostname. Also if you are doing this through cli, try forcing the hostname with /usr/local/cpanel/bin/set_hostname As as last attempt I would remove the existing certs in /var/cpanel/ssl/cpanel retry.

  /usr/local/cpanel/bin/set_hostname

  
  Thanks, it looks that this worked for me and new root certs were assigned. Thanks for help! Cheers Hermann
