Certificate Expiring

[Brio]

I thought I had renewed, however the expiry date on SSL Checking sites still has expiry in 7 days, 3 months from August 28th when I last renewed. My Question....Does the renewal start from the old expiry date or should it start from now?

My domain is:www.phukettravelandtours.com

I ran this command:Aquire Staging Success
Aquire Production Success
Install Certificate Success

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Namecheap

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): Dont know

I'm using a control panel to manage my site

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): 1.4.1

The cert on the website has only 7 days left.
You need to renew it ASAP.
Once renewed, that will start a new 90 timer.

Thanks rg, but Certsage says success, but expiry still 7 days, not 90 days. I'm lost to be honest.

Maybe just took a while to reload, the cert I see is valid until 17th Feb 2025.

Maybe you just needed to restart your LiteSpeed server.

Because, like webprofusion, this shows your server using the cert from today

Maybe you just needed to restart your LiteSpeed server.

I don't think CertSage can automatically do this? @griffin? Is a manual webserver restart always, sometimes or never required? Perhaps depending on the cPanel integration?

[griffin]

Usually cPanel will automatically reload the underlying webserver configuration when a new/renewed certificate is installed. I think the situation is as @webprofusion described. I don't think it's possible to manually control the webserver when cPanel is in charge in most cases (unless one has admin access as well, which is rare in my experience).

Hi Griffin

Thanks for your help. Somehow I managed to renew, but I am confused. It seems all my sites use the same Certsage folder, despite me having loaded Certsage to each domain, it doesnt use them.

I have renamed them all back to .txt files and it had no effect on the certificates.

Shots of the server tree....

Its working now, but I dont know how that happened, lol.
