SSL Certificate Files Location

[dieselpower44]

I'm trying to find the location of my SSL certificate files (added using Plesk interface) but can't seem to find them. Tried searching *.pem and similar but found nothing.

I've seen various articles point to /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/cert/httpd.pem but that doesn't seem to be the case.

If it makes a difference, I'm running Plesk 12.5 on CentOS 6.

Thanks.

Hi Diesel,

I think the location is /usr/local/psa/var/certificates/

Please take note that you can know the exact location and names of the SSL files by looking at your
last_nginx.conf file ..

eg

less /var/www/vhosts/system/ben-abdi.com/conf/last_nginx.conf

[...]
ssl_certificate             /usr/local/psa/var/certificates/certTp2DpZM;
ssl_certificate_key         /usr/local/psa/var/certificates/certTp2DpZM;
[...]

Hope that helps ...

Hi Abdi,

Brilliant! Thanks for the advice; much appreciated - I'll take a look and see how I get on.

Hi again Abdi,

So the certificates directory does indeed contain the certificates (with cryptic names, presumably for security?) however attempting to decipher which cert represents which domain via the last_nginx.conf file did not work. My last_nginx.conf file only contains two comment lines stating that the file is auto-generated and must not be edited.

To your knowledge is there anywhere else that defines the actual domain => file pairings?

It's not a big deal to just manually check but for future reference it could be helpful.

Thanks!

Hi dieselpower44,

depending to your hosting settings, you have to view the file "last_ip_default.conf" / or "httpd_ip_default.conf" instead of "last_nginx.conf" and "last_httpd.conf" ( all domain configuration files are located at "/var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/conf" ).

Got it.

Danke schön

Hi dieselpower44,

depending to your hosting settings, you have to view the file "last_ip_default.conf" / or "httpd_ip_default.conf" instead of "last_nginx.conf" and "last_httpd.conf" ( all domain configuration files are located at "/var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/conf" ).

I don't have the files "last_ip_default.conf" and "httpd_ip_default.conf" on test server ...

[root@a93-91-167-172 conf]# ls -l /var/www/vhosts/system/ben-abdi.com/conf

Hi abdi,

in this case, your IP has no "primary domain" associated with the shared IP.

Hello UFHH01,

For clarification "last_ip_default.conf" and or "httpd_ip_default.conf" file is ONLY existent for a domain name that is set to be the default for the respective server IP address while for the rest of the domain names those files don't exist ..

However, in both scenarios default domain or not it's the same SSL path definitions ...

ssl_certificate             /usr/local/psa/var/certificates/certTp2DpZM;
ssl_certificate_key         /usr/local/psa/var/certificates/certTp2DpZM;
