Moving website with SSL to new server worked, but did I do it correctly?

[mhweb]

I’ve looking to move a website using SSL to a new verser, and I’m end doing this:

1. Move old website files to new server.
2. Delete the letsencrypt folder from new server.
3. Copy the entire letsencrypt folder from old to the new server /etc location.
4. Deleted the apache2 folder from new server.
5. Copy the entire apache2 folder to the new server /etc location.
6. Restarted apache.
7. Change the DNS settings to point to the new server.
8. Immediately after changing the settings I run the sudo letsencrypt renew --dry-run
9. Turn off the older server, new server is running with ssl.

Didn’t need to create symlinks for the letsencrypt or apache 2 files.

Is there anything else I need to check or do?
Is this a valid process to move websites to new server?

If the outcome of step #8 was good, then you should be good to go.

that depends on how you copied the files over. some ways of doing that preserv symlinks.
