Godaddy SSL Certificate was installed for a web site hosted on Windows 2003 Server.

It worked fine on Internet Explorer and Opera. But it says the Certificate in Not trusted when you enter the site with FireFox.

The problem was Intermediate & Root Certificates of the SSL Provider was not available in the server. This can be downloaded from

http://certificates.starfieldtech.com/Repository.go

To correct the problem, do following steps

From the Start menu, select Run. Enter ‘mmc’.

Under the File menu, choose Add/Remove Snap in.

Go to Add, then from the Add Standalone Snap-in panel choose Certificates, and click Add.

Choose Computer Account and click Finish.

Close the snap-in panel, clicking OK.

This should return you to the MMC.

Before users’ browsers will trust your certificate, you must install the Root and Intermediate Certificates.

Begin by right-clicking the Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder. Choose All Tasks, then choose Import. This opens the Certificate Import Wizard - Click Next.

Browse for the Root Certificate you saved and choose Next. You can download Root Certificate from

http://certificates.starfieldtech.com/repository/valicert_class2_root.crt

Click all default settings and complete the Import Wizard.

Next, right-click the Intermediate Certification Authorities folder, and go to the Import Wizard again. This time browse for the Intermediate Certificate.

Download it from

http://certificates.starfieldtech.com/repository/sf_issuing.crt

Click all default settings and complete the import Wizard.

Now go to

Star > Run > inetmgr > COMPUTERNAME > Web Sites > Yourdomain

Right click the domain and select Stop, then Start it.

Now the SSL will work with FireFox too

In Cpanel Server, DNS Zone templates are located at

/var/cpanel/zonetemplates

# cd /var/cpanel/zonetemplates
# ls
simple standard standardvirtualftp
#

Following are the content of DNS Zone Template files. When new domain is added, these templates are used to create new DNS Zone file in /var/named/domainname.extn.db

#cat /var/cpanel/zonetemplates/standard

; cPanel %cpversion%
; Zone file for %domain%
$TTL %ttl%
@ IN SOA %nameserver%. %rpemail%. (
%serial% ; serial, todays date+todays
14400 ; refresh, seconds
7200 ; retry, seconds
3600000 ; expire, seconds
86400 ) ; minimum, seconds

%domain%. IN NS %nameserver%.
%domain%. IN NS %nameserver2%.

On a Cpanel server, website is working fine. But it is not shown in WHM.

I have checked cpanel users folder at

/var/cpanel/users

I found a file with user name of the domain “netfor” exists there.

I have checked it content. It was

# cd /var/cpanel/users
# cat netfor
IP=65.75.183.50
STARTDATE=1106613195
RS=x2
OWNER=root
PLAN=Personal
MAXPARK=unlimited
MAXADDON=unlimited
FEATURELIST=default
XDNS1=netforhost.com

It seems the problem is because the web site was parked in one of the domain or DNS clustered with this server before it moved from another server.

So i modified the content of the file /var/cpanel/users/netfor as below

IP=65.75.183.50
STARTDATE=1106613195
DNS=netforhost.com
RS=x2
OWNER=root
PLAN=Basic50
MAXPARK=unlimited
MAXADDON=unlimited
FEATURELIST=default

Now it start showing on WHM and able to upgrade or downgrade as required.
