Hello!

In which path the users SSL keys are placed?
I need to completely delete those keys before I can install the new one's(since DirectAdmin is not allowing you to delete keys, just replace them).

Thanks a lot!

did a search on my box:

/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/<user>/domains/<domain>.key

Thanks!

I also emptied the the file <domain>.cacert and <domain>.cert - but in GoDaddy Panel I can't insert the CSR request because it's say that I didn't deleted all the traces of the old SSL certificate that associated to this domain.
 
Maybe you need to restart apache? I think they check certain things by querying the webserver, and it probably has those keys in memory. Not sure.

I restarted the Apache and the same minute I emptied those files.
 
I'm quite confused.

Are you saying you can't buy a Secure Site Certificate if you already have one on the server? That makes no sense at all. We sell and install Secure Site Certificates all the time and we check to see if there's a Certificate already installed and when it expires so we can make sure we give the extra time still left on the old Certificate. But we don't keep you from getting a new Certificate. Why would GoDaddy?

Or am I misunderstanding something in your pos?

I have two account in GoDaddy - Personal and Business.

The first SSL I bought via my Personal account and yesterday it just expired, so I decided to buy the new one via my Business account because it's for my Clients System. I bought new SSL but the GoDaddy system doesn't get the CSR Request I've made because it's say that there some traces of other SSL(the old that already expired and doesn't working anymore & I even canceled this product) that installed on this domain in my hosting account.
 
While I believe you, this makes no sense. Next time you may want to buy your SSL Certificates from someone else (see our special offer including Installation, if you'd like, in the DirectAdmin Related Products subforum).

Hello,

If you need to make your old cert/key pair "dissapear" (which is odd, I've also never heard of that), you can simply create a self-signed certificate to overwrite the old pair.

User Level -> SSL Certificates -> Create your own self signed certificate

fill in the info, and save. This will overwrite the old cert/key pair.

Also, changing the SSL option to "Shared Server Certificate" will change the SSL options in the VirtualHost to use the Server's main SSL cert/key pair.
Make sure that you didn't also set the domains cert/key pair as the shared server's pair as well..
again, creating a self-signed certificate should fix that.
