How to renew a digital certificate for a client's site in DirectAdmin

The entire key to success or failure in this regard is to
1) Disable the SSL feature for your site.
2) then request a CSR
3) paste the new certificate after the Key
4) re-enable the SSL feature for your site.

I can't begin to tell you how many hours I have spent beating my head against the wall on this issue - disabling the SSL before you do the upgrade is the magic sauce.


To make it work I had to disable the SSL Certificate feature and UNCHECK the SSL checkbox and then save the new settings Then I pasted in the new certificate  and SAVED it and then I CHECKED the SSL checkbox again and re-enabled the SSL certificate feature.
