I tried to renew the certificate on my web server (MacOs 10.8.x)
I generated a new certificate, but when I try to import the privkey.pem (MacOS Server needs this!)
I get an error which says the privacy.pem has no content. This happens too when I try to import
it on my local iMac running the latest OS.
What can I do?
The recent certificate expires in 10 days
Thanks,
Michael
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
MacOs 10.8.4
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
Yes
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
MacOs Server
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):
certbot 0.35.1
Can you show us screenshots? OSX 10.8 is significantly out of date - the last update, 10.8.5, came out in 2013. Barring everything else, you should at least update to that patch level. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202785
Can you show us file information too? ls -al *.pem
