how to renew ssl certificates?

  • Posted July 27, 2014

I have a ssl certificate on a domain. Now, I need to renew the security keys. My server is apache. I will replace the certificates, but now does not want to restart apache.

The error:

~# sudo service apache2 restart
 * Restarting web server htcacheclean                                                                                                                                                                                             ...not running

Have you already renewed your SSL certificates? It looks like the private key was overwritten so now the certificate does not match it and Apache won’t start as a result.

If you have generated a new CSR, the private key was most likely replaced as well, so the only option you have is to renew the SSL certificate as soon as possible.
