Updating Certificates

Its that time again, to renew the SSL Cert with LetsEncrypt.

Lets Encrypt Logo

 

 

Following the renew instructions here
https://certbot.eff.org/all-instructions/#freebsd-none-of-the-above

Essentially main steps are to stop Apache so it can bind to port 80 or 443.

sudo apachectl stop

sudo certbot renew -dry-run

sudo certbot renew

sudo apachectl start

Assuming all goes well, the new cert will be applied.   Next step is to set up a CRON job to automate this every 60 days.

 

Bootnote: whilst updating WordPress I also got around to enabling Google Analytics following instructions from http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-install-google-analytics-in-wordpress/
