How to Reissue an SSL Certificate Using AutoInstall SSL

In most cases, AutoInstall SSL will automatically re-issue and install your SSL certificate when needed. This includes reissuing and reinstalling your SSL certificate every year for multi-year SSL certificate orders.

Check for Re-Issues

In some cases you may need to manually trigger AutoInstall SSL to reissue and reinstall an SSL certificate (for example, if you disabled cron jobs on your server for some reason). Here are the commands to trigger this process manually:

  • On Linux: sudo runautoinstallssl.sh reissuecertificate
  • On Windows: AutoInstallSSL.exe reissuecertificate

This will check all of the certificates on your server to see if they need to be reissued.

Force Re-Issue

To manually force a reissue and reinstall, you can re-run the installcertificate command. This also re-configure the cron job/scheduled task for future reissues. Here’s how:

In CertPanel, go to your SSL certificate manage order page and click installation instructions. Copy the installcertificate command and run it on your server.
