How to Add an SSL Certificate on SiteWorx
Log In to SiteWorx
-
Access your SiteWorx login page, typically found at http://yourdomain.com:2443/siteworx/ or through your Client Control panel.
-
Enter your username and password, then click "Login."
Navigate to the SSL Management Section
-
Once logged in, you will see the SiteWorx dashboard.
-
Look for the "Hosting Features" section and under Domains, click on “Manage”.
-
Hover over the icons on the left then click on the SSL icon, which is the third button from the left.
-
Click on “Generate All with Let's Encrypt” and include “Additional Domains”
NB: Consider that what can be covered in your SSL depends on your DNS records or if the domain has been redirected to a different website.
After you have included ”Additional Domains” and generated your SSL certificate, you will see the below screen.
When you have successfully issued a new SSL for your domain, but your website has not been redirected to HTTPS, you can follow the below:
Go to your File Manager, click on “html” directory and create a .htaccess file if you do not already have one yet.
Edit the .htaccess File:
-
Locate and open the .htaccess file in the root directory of your website. If you don't have one, you can create it.
-
Add the following lines to the file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Save and Test:
-
Save the changes to the .htaccess file.
-
Visit your website using http:// to ensure it redirects to https://.
