Hi, I followed digitalocean’s instructions (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-centos-7) and got a success message from CertBot but my site still says it has an expired certificate (previously used namecheap for an SSL cert). Any ideas how I get my site to use the new LE cert and not the expired one?

Thanks!

You will need to edit your apache config, and change the links in there for the SSL from the old cert, to the new ones ( which should be in /etc/letsencrypt/live/getaaplt.com/ ) then reload apache.

Thanks. For those in a similar situation to me, I used the following example configs (replace example.com with yours):

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/cert.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem
