I will try make it short.
I have a domain.com and subdomain.domain.com domains and both have seperate SSL installed. domain.com is under admin account. but subdomain.domain.com is under a user account.

So I wanted to renew SSL that I bought from RapidSSL. SSL installation went fine but I am also required to install intermediate.crt which is also called intermediate CA certificate So I went into httpd.conf file for domain domain.com and updated it as - (I also tried installing it in admin panel):

SSLCertificateChainFile /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/admin/domains/intermediate.crt
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
SSLCACertificateFile /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/admin/domains/domain.com.cacert


I got intermediate.crt from here

So when I go for ssl cheker test in here

I am getting this error:
Code:
www.domain.com failed for the following reasons:
The intermediate CA certificate cannot be found for the following
certificate chain.

I'm not sure you searched these forums; instructions for installing CA Root Certificates for admin account domains can be found in this thread.

I googled for this:
CA root cert site:www.directadmin.com
It was the first link that came up.

Mann you really saved my hours. I searched forum for one hour and also googled. But I think with wrong search terms.

After doing that in link, all went fine.

Thank you very very much.
 
You're very welcome.

I must be getting nicer in my old age; I used to just offer to install it for $45 or so :).
