| What steps are you taking to install the SSL?
Doing it as root or as the cPanel user?
Which SSL?

| You have to select the cPanel username on which SSL is to be installed, that user/domain must have dedicated IP assigned to it.
And follow this tutorial http://www.whmtutorial.com/web-hosti...icates-in-whm/

| Simple way is to create a separate hosting account for that subdomain with it's its own dedicated IP.
So, if you have domain.com create a separate account sub.domain.com and then install the SSL.
Why don't you use a wild card SSL?

| is wild card SSL free?
if i install this way u need 4 dedicated IPs right?

| Wild card SSLs are not free.
You will need one dedicated IP per domain or subdomain.
Want to save money? Use StartSSL it's free.
