We understand the importance of securing your website with SSL certificates. They provide essential encryption and data integrity, ensuring a safe browsing experience for your visitors. Let’s dive into the steps required to install SSL certificates in CWP7.
Step 1: Obtain an SSL certificate
The first step is to obtain an SSL certificate for your domain. There are several ways to acquire one. You can purchase it from a trusted certificate authority, or use a free SSL service like Let’s Encrypt. Make sure the certificate covers all the domains you wish to secure.
Step 2: Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
Next, you need to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) using the CWP7 interface. Login to your CWP7 control panel and navigate to the SSL/TLS Certificates section. Select the domain you want to install the certificate for and click on “Generate CSR”. Fill in the required details, including the domain name, company name, and contact information. Submit the form and save the generated CSR code.
Step 3: Obtain the SSL certificate
Now that you have the CSR, proceed to obtain the SSL certificate. If you purchased it from a certificate authority, follow their instructions to obtain it. If you are using Let’s Encrypt, you can use the CertBot tool or the Let’s Encrypt plugin available in CWP7 to automate the process.
Step 4: Install the SSL certificate in CWP7
With the SSL certificate in hand, log back into your CWP7 control panel. Navigate to the SSL/TLS Certificates section again and select the domain for which you generated the CSR. Click on “Install Cert” and paste the certificate code into the provided field. Make sure to include the entire certificate, including the headers and footers. Click on “Save” to install the certificate.
Step 5: Enable SSL for your domain
The last step involves enabling SSL for your domain in CWP7. Go to the “Webserver Settings” section in the control panel and select “Apache Webserver”. Find the virtual host configuration for the domain you installed the SSL certificate for and click on “Edit”. Locate the line that says “SSLEngine” and set it to “ON”. Save the changes and restart the Apache web server.
That’s it! You have successfully installed an SSL certificate for your domain in CWP7. Your website is now secured with HTTPS, providing a trustworthy browsing experience for your visitors.
