Problems Moving SSL-based Sites via WHM

I have recently been upgrading one of my web servers from a 2ghz dual core to a 3ghz quad core and had the pleasure of doing so via WHM and CPanel, which, as always, minimized the hassle.  Despite this though, I did of course encounter some issues.  The real problems revolved around the transition of SSL certificates for IP-based sites.

Having moved the web site files, set them up on their own ip on the new server and changed the DNS accordingly, trying to access the HTTPS version of the site would produce an error that the service was unexpectedly terminated or that the certificate length was too short.

In order to fix the problem I opened up WHM on the old server and the new server.  I then opened up the “Install a SSL Certificate and Setup the Domain” under the SSL/TLS section.  From there I put the secure hostname in the respective field and clicked Fetch.  On the old server this will bring up the most current details, whilst on the new server this will bring up nothing.  Copy-and-Paste the Certificate from the old server to the new one and the rest of the details for the account should be drawn in by WHM. When all the details are filled in, click Submit and you should be all set.
