SSL Expired But Logs Say Renewed

Hi Guys,

So, for the last few days my monitoring service has been telling me that a domains SSL cert will expire on 6th Dec and indeed it has now expired.

However, when I view the logs KeyHelp seems to think it is up to date:
[03-Dec-2021 00:00:01] INFO --> certificate is valid until 2022-02-25 23:00:22 (84 days left)
[03-Dec-2021 00:00:01] INFO --> check domain "example.com'
How can I fix this? The SSL has now expired and the website is failing.

Thanks,
LSG.

Hello,

Maybe the reload of the webserver failed for whatever reasons (there should be an log record within the KeyHelp logs) and therefor the old certificate is still cached and got delivered when accessing the website..

You will likely have to check the webserver, perform "apache2ctl configtest" and reload the web servers config if nessessary.
