apt-get -y install openssl

2) To generate a self-signed certificate that ZPanel will use to secure your connection by using following commands:

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -out /etc/pki/tls/certs/zpanel.crt -keyout /etc/pki/tls/certs/zpanel.key

3) To be configured to use the new certificate by using following commands:

nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

4) Now, Find the SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile entries and change them to :

SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/zpanel.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/zpanel.key

5) Save changes and Exit from the file.
