I have been delegated the responsibility of the re-certification of our sites SSL certificate. I am working on an apache server and I am trying to do a dry run first to get my bearings as I have never done this before. I have the same version ubuntu server that I can mess around with I am also getting a free ssl certificate from www.startssl.com<\/a> so the process is as authentic as I can make it. I think I have the basic process down. Are there any specific pitfalls I should be aware of? Possibly a few simple tips to make this process smoother I would appreciate anything since I am still not very well versed in linux.<\/p>","upvoteCount":4,"answerCount":5,"datePublished":"2014-05-16T12:12:19.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"chriscummings","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/chriscummings"},"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
