Can I Set Up A "https://" With SSL In cPanel?

hi there... does anyone know if it's possible to make a secure site using SSL in cPanel? i have a webform that i would like to turn into a secure "https://" page, but i'm not sure if i can do that by using cPanel's SSL set up...

anyone know if it can be done? or even if infact that's the whole point of SSL in cPanel?

Have you tried the SSL Manager inside cPanel?

hi motoma. i looked through it... it seemed a bit difficult to set up... i apparently had to create a cirtificate and stuff like that... it reads: "The SSL Manager will allow you to generate ssl certificates, signing requests, and keys. " but i don't know really what that means... i'd just like to know if the whole point of SSL in cPanel is in fact to make a webform secure, in which case i'd spend some time making it work...

Hi I would like to take his question and reuse it. I am trying to setup a ssl connection. I purchased my certificate from godaddy.com. I have done everything I know to do to make it work. Still seems to be nothing going on with it. I followed their vague tutorial for Cpanel/Web Host Manager not very accurate at all if you ask me. Its on my Shared hosting server. I have setup my keys sent the request and got the license. I go into the cpanel I hit the ssl/tld manager hit the edit upload and delete ssl certificates then upload my certificates in there. With go daddy they give you a bundle also that they say has to be installed first. All I am doing is uploading it first then my certificate. They both show but when I try to visit a secure part of my site it throws

An error occurred during a connection to www.larsenracingproducts.com.

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

I have tried this several different ways. I have even pasted my ssl in the window and nothing. I have pasted my ssl keys then my RSA then the bundle in window and everything seems to work fine but still get that error when I try to visit a secure part of my site. The site is http://larsenracingproducts.com just try to go into the shopping cart. Thanx for any help...

wow... is there no one out there that knows what might be the problem?

Unless you have a Dedicated SERVER! and root access to the whole server then
SSL Certificates must be installed by root (host provider tech support)
SSL Manager only takes you through importing a key from some Certificate Authority or... Creating your a public key /certificate pair in the case of self-signed certificates. You can't do it yourself because you don't have and won't get the privileges needed to do it on a shared server.

While its awesome that you are taking the time to answer other OPs questions, please know that this question is almost a year old and I am quite sure the other OPs have moved on to other things and hopefully solved the issue at hand.

Just keep the date of threads in mind is all.
