Letsencrypt How to migrate Wordpress existing sites which use LetsEnrycpt

Hello,

Firstly, I just want to say I've been really impressed with CentminMod. I've been playing with it over the last week or so and it's been real pleasure to use. I think I'll be using it for all future sites/servers that I run.

However, I'm just stuck on this one problem. If I can figure this out I'll be ready to move all my sites over to Centmin.

I've tried googling and looking around the forums/support docs and I can't seem to find something which covers this. If anyone can point me in the right direction of how to achieve this I'd be really grateful.

I have a couple of existing sites on Ubuntu VPS's which I'm wanting to switch to Centminmod. All these sites use letsencrypt already.

So far I've created the sites using CentMinMod option 22 (with acmetools and letsencrypt enabled).

---

I've then deleted the installed Wordpress files, dropped the database, and then replaced these with the site files/database of the sites I'm migrating.

I've then changed all the files and folders to the correct permissions. Everything looks like it should work but I'm getting a mismatch with my SSL certs. So my sites aren't working.

What's the correct process of migrating a non-cenminmod Wordpress site (which uses letsenrypt) to centminmod (and maintaining or issuing a new letsencrypt cert)?

Thanks in advance for the help

Cheers

James

 

That is a good idea. What rating do your sites get on SSLlabs?

 

Thanks for help and suggestions Eva2000.

Prior to this and on my Ubuntu VPS i used Certbot and cloned it from git hub:

sudo git clone certbot/certbot /opt/letsencrypt

I'd then create the following directory in the root of my sites on my ubuntu VPS's: .well-known/acme-challenge/

After this I'd change everything in the Vhost file and use WP-cli to change all http site addresses to https.

I've removed the .well-known/acme-challenge/ from my Wordpress install when transferring them to Centminmod.

With regards to the following..

Code:

Code (Text):
-------------------------------------------------------------
Setup full Nginx vhost + Wordpress + WP Plugins
-------------------------------------------------------------

Enter vhost domain name you want to add (without www. prefix): acme3.domain1.com

Create a self-signed SSL certificate Nginx vhost? [y/n]: n
Get Letsencrypt SSL certificate Nginx vhost? [y/n]: y

You have 4 options:
1. issue staging test cert with HTTP + HTTPS
2. issue staging test cert with HTTPS default
3. issue live cert with HTTP + HTTPS
4. issue live cert with HTTPS default
Enter option number 1-4: 1

I selected option 4. After this, I removed everything in the Wordpress root (and the database) and replaced them with the files for the site I'm migrating. I then changed all the permissions to match those on my Centminmod test sites.

The domain I'm trying to migrate is running through Cloudflare but I've removed it from Proxy and am just using Cloudflares DNS only option.

I start testing the site with your other suggestions and see what it reports.

Thankyou for the help. It's very much appreciated

 

Whoowhoo. I've managed to fix it. My migrated site is now working and class A according to SSL labs.
Turns out i was well off the mark with my setup. And it was all down to a stupid mistake. I'd cloned the acmetool script but hadn't run it.
I assumed it was installed as my test domains (new domains which weren't being migrated) were set up and using letencrypt.
Anyway, once I'd run: "./acmetool.sh acmeinstall" inside /usr/local/src/centminmod/addons/ i had access to all the acmetool functions.
Then it was simply a case of following your letsencrypt guide
My sites fully working now and with CentminMod it's reduced the page load times by over 50%.
I'm really looking forward to migrating the rest of my sites to the stack.
Thanks for the help Eva & Jimmy
