Somebody posted info on how to set up getssl with DNS validation.
But I can't find it now in this quagmire.
Can you post it again?
GoDaddy have not got back to me. They probably closed the case as "too awkward". A previous issue with their servers was solved by rebooting. They never told me about that fix either, but I found everything magically working again and server uptime less than a day (whereas it is normally hundreds).
GoDaddy claim "Award-Winning Customer Service". What awards, specifically? Are there 'Raspberry' awards for customer service? They might be eligible for those.
The SSLs managed to get renewed via the cron job eventually. Not sure how. Weird thing is the start date is the date of this thread, and they hadn't been installed when I checked a week later.
GoDaddy never got back to me. Though that's most I'd expect from such a disgraceful organization. (This company is out of order. Please use another one.)
Aww. Thanks. I am honestly at tearpoint re the help I've received here. You are beautiful people.
It wasn't a server reboot. Says it's been running for 31 days. GoDaddy have a habit of quietly fixing problems but not bothering to tell you that they have. Though if I've specifically reported a problem and been promised a reply, I expect it.
