  1. Login to Plesk Control Panel.
  2. Plesk 7: Select Domains from the left hand menu.
    • Plesk 8: Click Home and scroll to the bottom of the page.
       
  3. Click on the Domain name that the certificate is for.
  4. Click on the Certificates icon located under Services.
  5. Install End Entity/Domain & CA Certificates.

    Uploading Certificates
    • Upload Entity/Domain Certificate
    • Click Browse and locate the extracted End Entity/Domain certificate. This will typically be yourDomainName.crt. Click Send File to complete this installation.
    • Upload CA Certificate
      Click Browse and locate the extracted CA certificate. This will typically be yourDomainName.ca-bundle. Click Send File to complete this installation.
    Copy and Pasting Certificates
    • Open yourDomainName.crt and yourDomainName.ca-bundle in your favorite text editor.
    • Copy and Paste the contents of yourDomainName.crt to the Certificate section.
    • Copy and Paste the contents of yourDomainName.ca-bundle to the CA Certificate section.
    • Once finished click Send Text.
  6. Your certificate has now been added to your site's certificate repository.

Enable Site for SSL
  1. Stay in the same area where the certificate was installed.
  2. Click Up Level from the top right area of the Control Panel.
  3. Click Setup.
  4. Using the drop-down box select the certificate that was just installed above.
  5. Check the status of your IP Address and Certificate.
Note: This example shows a shared IP with the default certificate. If there is no Certificate drop-down box in this area, this means that you are on a shared hosting account and therefore you need to upgrade your hosting package and purchase a dedicated/static IP address from your hosting provider.


Restart Apache Service
  1. Click Server item from the left hand menu.
  2. Click on the Service Management menu item.
  3. Stop and Start the Apache process. Icons are Start, Stop and Restart.
    Note: Do not simply restart the Apache Service. You must stop the service, then start it again to complete the installation.
