Renewed SSL Certificate but it's still using the old one

Linode Staff

My SSL expired last week so I renewed it. However, the site is still serving the old expired certificate. What could be happening?

Were you able to upload the new certificate file to your webserver? You'll also need to update any webserver configuration references to the new certificate file. For Apache on Ubuntu 16.04, you may need to edit your site's configuration file in the directory /etc/apache2/sites-available/. Here's more information on that:

Configure Apache to use the SSL Certificate

Then restart apache by issuing the command service apache2 restart
