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

linux - Awstats - outputting stats for merged Access_logs only producing stats for one server's log

I've been attempting this for two weeks and I've accessed countless number of sites on this issue and it seems there is something I'm not getting here and I'm at a lost. I manged to figure out how to merge logs from two servers together. (Taking care to only merge the matching domains together) The logs from the first server span from 15 Dec 2012 to 8 April 2014 The logs from the second server span from 2 Mar 2014 to 9 April 2014 I was able to successfully merge them using the logresolvemerge.pl script simply enermerating each log and > out_putting_it_to_file Looking at the two logs from each server the format seems exactly the same. The problem I'm having is producing the stats page for the logs. The command I've boiled it down to is /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -configdir=/home/User/Documents/conf/ -config=example.com awstatsprog=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl dir=/home/User/Documents/parced -month=all -year=all...

iLO 3 Firmware Update (HP Proliant DL380 G7)

The iLO web interface allows me to upload a .bin file ( Obtain the firmware image (.bin) file from the Online ROM Flash Component for HP Integrated Lights-Out. ) The iLO web interface redirects me to a page in the HP support website ( http://www.hp.com/go/iLO ) where I am supposed to find this .bin firmware, but no luck for me. The support website is a mess and very slow, badly categorized and generally unusable. Where can I find this .bin file? The only related link I am able to find asks me about my server operating system (what does this have to do with the iLO?!) and lets me download an .iso with no .bin file And also a related question: what is the latest iLO 3 version? (for Proliant DL380 G7, not sure if the iLO is tied to the server model)

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits, ...
