Hey guys, i'm still fresh on this thing but i was wondering about SSL. I want to setup WHMCS with SSL. I have 2 VMs for this failover. Now, I'm not sure on this SSL thinggy. Would I have to have 2 SSL certs installed on both VMs or 1 is enough? if 2 required? i was just thinking getting 1 paid cert and the other using just the share ssl from cpanel.
I appreciate the help :)

Hello,
You can install the same SSL certificate on the two VM's, won't be a problem AFAIK.
Only requirement is you should use the same CSR for installing it on both the VM's. Otherwise it is all fine.

Hopefully you're aware that you'll need to either use a common database (dedicated MySQL server), or arrange to keep them in sync. If you use separate dbs, and allow them to get out of sync, you'll have a far bigger mess than failover will solve.
If you've already accounted for that, sorry for butting in :)
Take care,
Steve

Yea. Syncing them manually will be a pain in the arse.
The best bet will be to get 2 web VM's + a common MySQL only VM.
This will solve your problem if you have not already taken care of it :)
