I am seeking assistance with a challenging situation regarding my hostname SSL certificate. Recently, I discovered that my certificate had expired without receiving any prior notifications. My main concern is updating the certificate for the admin panel hostname.
Despite my efforts to resolve this issue, including attempting to force the renewal of the hostname certificate in the relevant section, the system continues to use the old, expired certificate. I lack the confidence to manually remove the certificate via the command line. While I am aware this can be done using SFTP, I am concerned about the risk of breaking the server, which is currently in production and also hosts my email and web servers, which were complex to configure.
Can anyone recommend a quick fix for updating the hostname in the panel or forcing the issuance of a new certificate? Despite trying all the obvious steps, such as clearing cache, cookies, and checking proxies, the certificate trackers still show the expired certificate. Any insights on what I might be overlooking would be greatly appreciated.
Additionally, when re-issuing and enforcing a new hostname SSL, the panel indicates success, but SSL trackers still show a self-signed certificate. I have attempted to force a new SSL for the hostname, but my lack of confidence with command line and file editing, especially with files that aren’t straightforward to replace, remains a barrier. I have even rebuilt the web servers in an attempt to fix this, but to no avail.
I currently host the server on VULTR.com, and clearing the cache is not an available option through their control panel for the VPS. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
