> Webmin] Webming Configuration] SSL Encryption] Per IP
Suggestion: Maybe there should be a "SSL Cert" link at Virtualmin's main interface, under "Server Configuration"? Allowing domain owner or root administrator to configure SSL cert for specific website.

I do have a problem. After doing...
1. Designating a cert and key on a Per IP basis (2nd post above)
and
2. Designating a cert and key for a specific domain name
I still cannot get SSL to work properly.
When I go to https://www.funnybone.com, I don't get the SSL-encrypted version of the website. Instead, I get directed to the catch-all "website" at /var/www/html.
Scrap all the above posts. Don't do anything mentioned in my posts above.
Follow Jamie's instruction.

1) In Virtualmin, select the domain from the left menu, and click on Edit Virtual Server.
2) In the Configurable Settings section, select 'Create now with IP' and enter a new unused IP address into the adjacent textbox.

* Note 2: Make sure that you have NOT used the IP address as a Shared IP address. (If you have, see below for rectification process)
* Note 3: DO NOT create a network interface with the IP address via] Webmin] Networking] Network Configuration] Network Interface. (If you have, see below for rectification process)

6) In the 'New Certificate' tab, paste in or upload your certificate and key files, and click Install Now.

****************************
1) Select the domain from the left menu, and click on Change IP Address, select the 'Shared address for all servers' option and click Change Now.
2) Click on Shared IP Addresses on the left menu, under System Settings.

Re my suggestion above, cancel that.
I found the SSL option for each domain name.

When I look at httpd.conf, I see this:
Virtual Server Any 8443 www.funnybone.com /var/www/html
Virtual Server Any 443 www.funnybone.com /var/www/html
What must I do?
MY QUESTION IS: How do I import a SSL cert and key to a specific website and get it to work?
Thanks.
