20/10/2016 [D_A] HOWTO, Linux, Security, 0

1. Install Letsencrypt with apache addon:
sudo apt-get install python-letsencrypt-apache
2. Generate only cert for domain
letsencrypt –apache certonly

If above fails:

1. For different webroot
letsencrypt certonly -a webroot –webroot-path=/var/www/ -d your.domain.name
2. If apache fails or port 443 fails – do manual over HTTP
letsencrypt certonly –standalone-supported-challenges http-01

NB! Apache needs fullkeychain and key and igxgroot main cert to function properly!
