SSL encryption is required for access to this server. Log in using SSL Cpanel

For some reason whenever we tried to login to cpanel via domain.com/cpanel or :2082 came up with this error message saying

SSL encryption is required for access to this server.  Log in using SSL

Then when you click on Log in using SSL browsers comes up with a warning message saying site is unsafe etc etc

So going into WHM > Tweak Settings and Changing

Always redirect to SSL
Always redirect users to the SSL/TLS ports when visiting /cpanel, /webmail, etc.
Should Fix it – however it did not in my case

so instead you can do it by editing  /var/cpanel/cpanel.config changing the following entry:

requiressl=1

Change the “1″ to a “0″, and save the changes. You may also need to edit the following entry:

alwaysredirecttossl=1

If the value is a “1″, change to a “0″. Next run

/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/bin/whostmgr2 –updatetweaksettings

and this should fix it! which it did strange!
