I see how to generate a SSL certificate in the Plesk 2.0 control panel for my other domains, however am not seeing it within Cpanel for my new domain.

Anyone can help me here?

I also looked at the Cpanel users guide, and it says to click on 'private key' (KEY) button, however I do not have one of these buttons on my Cpanel. ??? Weird.

Thanks for the help.

Linux Hosting / Mambo - Questions
October 18, 2007, 08:29:52 PM
I've recently installed Mambo onto my server, however I've read lots about needing it to be secured because of potential for hacker abuse. I think my last site may have been hacked because of an installed Mambo package, that I never did anything with.

I read a tutorial that said:

First you may need to setup OpenSSL on your server:
http://www.openssl.org

As well as setting up mod_ssl:
http://www.modssl.org/docs/

Firstly you want to insure that users trying to access the /administrator section of Mambo
are forced to use an SSL connection. This assumes you have mod_rewrite installed on
your server. Add the following lines to your .htaccess file:

#/administrator/.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/$ /index.php
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !443$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://yourhost.com/administrator/$1 [R=301,L]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So my question is how do I install these things onto my server? Is this something I can do for free without paying more?

I have a LINUX CUSTOM PLUS account.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to begin editing the Mambo pages, but want to make sure it is secure as possibe.


Any advice on this would be great. I'm new to developing, and could use the help.
