Running into an SSL revocation error on your cPanel or Apache server can break secure connections and impact website trust. This usually happens when the Certificate Authority (CA) chain isn’t properly installed. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the exact steps to fix the issue and restore smooth HTTPS functionality.

Steps to Fix SSL Revocation Error

1: Navigate to the SSL Directory
cd /usr/share/ssl/CA/

2: Download the CA Certificate from the Issuer
For Comodo certificates:
wget http://instantssl.com/ssl-certificate-supp…yServicesCA.crt

3: Edit Apache Configuration File
pico /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following line:
SSLCACertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/CA/ComodoSecurityServicesCA.crt

4: If Using FreeSSL.com
Find the CA certificates here:
SSL Shopper Certificates

Pro Tip

Always make sure you’re downloading the latest CA bundle directly from the SSL provider’s website. Outdated CA certificates are the most common cause of the error.
