apache 2.2 - How to Check if a SSL Certificate is successfully renewed

itemprop="text">

I have two web servers, one
for an intranet and the other for a website. The system specs of the two are almost the
same, which is as follows:

CentOS 6.5 />LAMP (Apache/2.2.15) + WordPress, which were installed with yum
command

I am trying to renew their wildcard SSL
certificate with a new one, which I recently got from GoDaddy. The zip file sent from
GoDaddy includes the
followings:

c************.crt />gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt
gd_intermediate.crt />

The two servers share the same private key
(test.key), which I am going to use for the new certificate too. So the 2 steps below is
all I did on both servers.

(Step
1)
Copy the three files above to /etc/pki/tls/certs directory and edit the
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf so the keys "SSLCertificateFile" and
"SSLCertificateChainFile" point to the new respective file. The file looks like below
after editting.

            *:443>
 SSLEngine on
 SSLCertificateFile
            /etc/pki/tls/certs/c************.crt
 SSLCertificateKeyFile
            /etc/pki/tls/private/test.key
 SSLCertificateChainFile
            /etc/pki/tls/certs/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt
             /var/www/html>

 AllowOverride All

             DocumentRoot /var/www/html
 ServerName
            *****.*********.com

(Step
2)
Restart the server

After the
steps, I accessed both servers with google chrome and checked to see if the expiration
date had changed. The expiration date on the intranet has changed like I had expected.

(before)
Valid from
6/17/2014 to 6/17/2015
(after)
Valid from 5/18/2014 to
6/17/2016

But the date on the
website is still the same. Is there any other way to check if the certificate is
successfully renewed? Or is there anything wrong about the steps I followed? I did not
get any errors when I went through the steps and I am thinking that there might be some
more steps I need to do to get a wildcard certificate to work.

Answer

1) Remember - Apache uses either
httpd.conf or ssl.conf depending on
how Apache was configured - since ssl.conf is preferred make
sure the "failing" server is NOT using ssl.conf
instead.

2) Have you tried copying the
httpd.conf file from the working server to the "failing"
server. If everything else is the same, that should make SSL work, if it doesn't
everything is NOT the same on the two servers - double check
