Hi Guys, my designer is on holiday and my SSL has expired.
I have bought the SSL from Go Daddy. How do I install it on Digital Ocean? I’ve got a big promotion on our website due tomorrow and I can’t do anything
Please can I have really basic instructions and quickly if you can.

Hello,
What you need to do is:
- SSH to your server
- Then go to this folder here:
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ - There you need to find the SSL Vhost for your website
- Open the file and look for these lines:
SSLCertificateFileandSSLCertificateKeyFile - In the copy the location of the files and then in those files you need to add your new SSL certificate: so in the
SSLCertificateKeyFilefile add the new private key and in theSSLCertificateFileadd your SSL certificate followed by the CA bundle - After that run a config test for your Apache service:
apachectl -t
- If you get
Syntax OKyou can restart you Apache service:
systemctl restart apache2
Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
