I purchased and installed a new certificate for one of my ispconfig websites following the directions found in this forum. However, every time I try to go to https://clgsite.com it gives me an error message. Also, when I goto https://clgsite.com:81/mail it pulls up the self signed certificate I created when installing ispconfig (which is not correct). It also changes the address. If I re-type clgsite.com in the address bar it will go on to squirrel mail.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

For which site did you request the certificate? Normally a certificate includes the hostname like https://www.clgsite.com. Omitting the hostname should result in a invalid certificate error usually.

https://clgsite.com:81/mail is for ISPConfig, which uses it's own private webserver found in /root/ispconfig/httpd

Thanks for your quick reply. I requested the certificate for www.clgsite.com.

My web mail program is squirrelmail which I installed with ISPconfig. What would be the correct address for clgsite.com? Do I need to install squirrelmail for every domain?
Thank you very much.

I requested the certificate for www.clgsite.com.That explains your error if you access your site with clgsite.com.
Do I need to install squirrelmail for every domain?No, normally not. Unless you want to use /mail for every domain with their own certificate. Just access your mail through https://www.clgsite.com:81/mail and you should be oke.
