Thanks for the reply.

As you can see in the first screenshot above, I have not select any options in both these sections. I am confused which options should I select in both these sections. Can you guide me through?

I've solved the issue by following the instruction of mistwang (LiteSpeed Staff) posted at http://www.litespeedtech.com/support...33&postcount=3

I've one more query, is it safe to delete the default http listener on port 7080 when SSL is working fine for me? Will it cause any trouble with the CPanel LiteSpeed plugin?

it's safe, and you can add it back later at any time.

Hi,

I've removed the default port but started facing another issue.

After removing the default 7080 listener, the LiteSpeed Web Server Plugin links the Admin console to:

http://myserver:7081/

Instead of

https://myserver:7081/

Thus whenever I am trying to open Admin console through WHM, I'm getting the following error.

Can you please help me out? If I'm accessing the Admin console directly from the browser it's working. It's just that the WHM plugin for LiteSpeed is not redirecting http to https.

link from whm plugin is hardcoded w/ http://. you need to revert http listner or access admin cp directly w/ https://

Thanks for the clarification and your kind support. I will instead stick with SSL and directly access the admin console from the browser.

Issue solved.
