Apache ssl cert
I am running apache http server 2.2. I need to renew the ssl cert but am unsure if I need to generate a new csr. Some sites indicate no others say yes. Hopefully someone can give me the correct answer. Thanks
once you get the new Certificate issued:
-Copy your renewed certificate, intermediate certificate bundle and key file (generated when you created the Certificate Signing Request (CSR)) into the directory that you will be using to hold your certificates.
-Open the Apache httpd.conf file and add the following directives:
SSLCertificateFile /path to certificate file/your issued certificate
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path to key file/your key file
SSLCertificateChainFile /path to intermediate certificate/null
-Save your httpd.conf file and restart Apache.
-Copy your renewed certificate, intermediate certificate bundle and key file (generated when you created the Certificate Signing Request (CSR)) into the directory that you will be using to hold your certificates.
-Open the Apache httpd.conf file and add the following directives:
SSLCertificateFile /path to certificate file/your issued certificate
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path to key file/your key file
SSLCertificateChainFile /path to intermediate certificate/null
-Save your httpd.conf file and restart Apache.

I am not changing anything about the domain or site name. How do I know if I need a new csr based on the site
It will depend on who issued your Certificate and if you are renewing through the same place.
Where did you get your Certificate from?

Best practice is to create a new CSR.
