So, I have a multisite wordpress with two domains, I installed a SSL certificate on the second domain, but doesn’t seem to work, how can I make this work?

×Hi @kvny,
You’ll need to update your WebService’s config file (Apache/Nginx) to include the SSL you’ve installed. Can you let us know which of the two mentioned you are using so that I can provide you with more information on how to reach/find where to update the config files?
If you are unsure how to check which one you are using, you can enter your droplet via SSH and type in the following command:
Question
netstat -tulpen | grep 80
It should display what service is listening on port 80, either Apache or Nginx. From there you can enter your configuration file and add your SSL bit to it.

Hey, I’m using apache, how can I update my webservice config file?
The best way would be to use Certbot in my opinion. As you didn’t specify if you are using Ubuntu or CentOS, I’ll provide you with two articles which I think you should check :
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-centos-7
One is for Ubuntu the other for CentOS. Based on your OS choose one to follow and install Let’s Encrypt on it.
I followed this tutorial but when I used
sudo certbot --apache -d www.example2.com -d www.example2.com
My first domain www.example.com lost his SSL certificate. Then I tried using
sudo certbot --apache -d www.example.com -d www.example.com
And the SSL started functioning again on the first domain but not on the other one
Hi @kvny,
Hmm, that’s weird. Do you by any chance have the two domains in the same Apache configuration file? If you do, please try and separate them into separate configuration files in order to prevent such issues in the future.
