Issue IIS8.5 SSL Issue

[MIchael Cockinos]

Hi Everyone,
I have recently installed Plesk Onyx on a Windows Server 2012 VM and configured WHMCS (eventually) to work with Plesk.

I have a strange problem with my SSL sites. I am unable to reach any SSL site using port 443 and the sites certificate, I can however reach if use port 8443 and select the correct certificate.

I have gone through everything I can think of including:

1. Removing/Reinstalling the SSL certificate.
2. Sifting through firewall rules. I have turned rules on and off and created new ones.
3. running various command line tools to look for open ports etc.
4. Tried difrerent browsers on different operating systems

And now I am pretty well stumped. No matter what I do, I can not connect to the server using 443.

For testing sake, please try https://www.redhot.com.au:8443 and https://www.redhot.com.au

You will see what I mean.

Any help in pointing me to the correct resource would be awesome.

Thanks in advance

Hi MIchael Cockinos,

pls. note that the Plesk Control Panel has it's very own webserver called "sw-cp-server", while your hosted domains use either apache only, a combination of apache+nginx, or nginx only.

For your described issue, I did some investigations, which leads to to a problem with your used nameservers for your domain:

=> DNS Lookup for redhot.com.au
=> Reverse DNS Lookup for 203.55.142.11​

Pls. note, that the port 8443 is actually reserved for your Plesk Control Panel, while you get currently redirected to your hosted content for the domain "redhot.com.au" ( http ). This misconfiguration should be investigated by you as well.

Hi and thanks for your reply,
I'm not sure why the DNS is reporting as such.

It doesn't explain why all the vhosts on the Windows IIS system won;t work on 443.
I used 8443 just as a test bed as I knew that was working *https://rh-wserv-003.redhot.com.au:8443) and I will remove that configuration from the IIS records.

Still I have the problem whereby I cannot connect to SSL443 for any domain (https://www.iluvboobs.com.au) and they only work on 80.

This is the probably the last and one of the most important steps to configure.

I can't find any irregularities in the windows logs either.

can someone help with this issue..................New configuration files for the Apache web server were not created due to the errors in configuration templates: Syntax error on line 48 of /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/webmails/victorndaghakaonga.com_webmail.conf: SSLCertificateFile: file '/usr/local/psa/var/certificates/cert-eB6fzZ'
