Default certificate still shows after SSL cert install.

Ok, here's the deal.

I bought a SSL Cert from godaddy.

I changed the IP address for my site to a dedicated IP.

I installed the SSL Cert to my domain.

I changed the certificate repository from the default administrator certificate to my domain certificate.

I used the services button to stop/start apache.

But still the default plesk certificate shows when I load my site? I don't know what I missed. Any suggestions?
 
We had the same problem this morning, and could not find a solution online.

We figured out that you also need to set your domain to be the "default domain" on that IP address.

To do this, go to Server->IP Addresses

Click the "1" in the "Hosting" column of your dedicated IP address.

Choose the domain, and click "set as default".

Restart Apache.

I hope this helps you!
 
Yep, that did work for port 80. I was actually trying to set it up for port 8443 since I want the warning to go away when accessing the CP. I didn't realize that the cert wasn't global to the domain.

Anyone know how to make it so I don't get a certificate warning when accessing the CP?
