Renewing SSL Cert: Where's the Box for CA Bundle?

[itwasntme]

I need to renew my SSL certificate, and the particular certificate I use has both a CRT file and a CA bundle. However, the CA bundle box is missing from the SSL manager in CPanel.

I have installed this particular brand of certificate (Comodo) for several different domains on my VPS several times, and I know the CA bundle is required for it to function correctly. In WHM, there is a box for the CA bundle, but not so for CPanel.

How do I install the CA bundle on a shared server using CPanel when there is no box for it?

Normally a CBundle are linked together automatically, just insert the cert and Private Key and you should be all set.

Thanks Denis.

Looks like it worked to just upload the new CRT from CPanel.

Glad to hear that it got sorted out.

I need to post a follow-up on this thread that may help others.

It turned out installing the Comodo SSL cert through cPanel's interface, which lacks a box for the CA bundle, did not work. It appeared to work; the SSL Manager reported the correct expiration date of the new certificate, but as soon as my old certificate expired, I started getting "invalid certificate" errors that I could not fix from cPanel.

I had to get HIC to install the Comodo certificate via WHM, which does have a box for the CA bundle.

My recommendation: Don't buy a Comodo certificate if you are on shared hosting. Have HIC install a Geotrust certificate for you ($80). The Comodo certificate is the same price per year, but it costs an extra $30 to have HIC do the installation via WHM, so it's cheaper to go with HIC's Geotrust cert.
