: Plesk refuses to let me set a new SSL certificate I got a problem when I try to update/change a SSL certificate on a PLESK managed server. One problem might be that I am not so confident

@Megan663

The guide (https://support.hostgator.com/articles/how-can-i-install-an-ssl-certificate-plesk-10) recommended by user29671 worked:


Login to your Parallels Plesk Panel
In the left hand menu, click on Tools & Settings
Click the SSL Certificates link
Click the Add SSL Certificate icon
Enter a certificate name and the settings for your Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
Click the Request button to generate the Private Key which your SSL issuer will need, or click Self-Signed to issue your own certificate.
Once you have the certificate codes, you can upload them in the "Upload certificate files" section and click the Send File button, or you can paste the codes in the "Upload certificate as text" section and click the Send Text button
Go back to Tools & Settings
Click the IP Addresses link
Click the IP related to your domain
For the "SSL certificate" drop down, select the name of your SSL certificate
Click the OK button
Go back to Tools & Settings
Under Server Management, click the Services Management link
Restart the Web Server (Apache) service


To use the highest PLESK account you have access to did the trick.
In my case I had one PLESK account for the whole virtual server and one for each domain. I could change the SSL certificate on server level when the other accounts just displayed "owned by another user".

thanks to /u/user29671 for pointing me on the guide.
