Accidentally deleted hostname ssl certificates. Please help

Each time you upgrade Nginx an auto backup of nginx conf files and ssl directories is generated. See http://centminmod.com/nginx.html#autobackup and http://centminmod.com/configfiles.html.

So if you accidentally deleted your Nginx vhost files at /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/ and/or SSL files at /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/ you can restore a previous copy from /usr/local/nginxbackup which has 2 directories

1. /usr/local/nginxbackup/confbackup which is backup for everything within /usr/local/nginx/conf including subdirectories like /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/
2. /usr/local/nginxbackup/nginxdirbackup which is backup for everything within /usr/local/nginx/ including subdirectories

Code (Text):

ls -lah /usr/local/nginxbackup
total 32K
drwxr-xr-x.   4 root root 4.0K Apr  4  2017 .
drwxr-xr-x.  22 root root 4.0K Sep  9 05:27 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 212 root root  12K Nov 20 00:25 confbackup
drwxr-xr-x. 212 root root  12K Nov 20 00:25 nginxdirbackup

So for instance for backup dated 310817 = 31 August, 2017 at /usr/local/nginxbackup/confbackup/conf_310817-005457/conf.d/ would have Nginx vhost config files which were backed up from /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/

Code (Text):

ls -lah /usr/local/nginxbackup/confbackup/conf_310817-005457/conf.d/

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1.1K Aug 30 18:55 demodomain.com.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2.0K Aug 30 18:55 domain1.com.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 3.3K Aug 30 18:55 domain1.com.ssl.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  846 Aug 30 18:55 ssl.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2.6K Aug 30 18:55 virtual.conf

and /usr/local/nginxbackup/confbackup/conf_310817-005457/ssl would contain the nginx ssl certificate files backed up from /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl

So contents of /usr/local/nginxbackup/confbackup/conf_310817-005457/ssl

Code (Text):

ls -lah /usr/local/nginxbackup/confbackup/conf_310817-005457/ssl

drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4.0K Apr  4  2017 domain1.com

has /usr/local/nginxbackup/confbackup/conf_310817-005457/ssl/domain1.com backups for /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/domain1.com

Code (Text):

ls -lah /usr/local/nginxbackup/confbackup/conf_310817-005457/ssl/domain1.com
total 40K
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4.0K Apr  4  2017 .
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 4.0K Jun 23 11:24 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  424 Apr  4  2017 dhparam.pem
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  952 Apr  4  2017 domain1.com-backup.csr
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1.7K Apr  4  2017 domain1.com-backup.key

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  952 Apr  4  2017 domain1.com.csr
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1.7K Apr  4  2017 domain1.com.key

You're welcome. The take away is always keep Nginx versions updated via centmin.sh menu option 4 just purely for auto Nginx backups
