Creating a Certificate for your domain
You need to turn off apache before creating a certificate or you will get something like
The program httpd (process ID XXXX) is already listening on TCP port 80. This will prevent us from binding to that port. Please stop the httpd program temporarily and then try again.
REMINDER: Replace domain.com by your domain URL.
NOTICE: For CentOS replace apache2 with httpd
service apache2 stop
./letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone -d domain.com -d www.domain.com
service apache2 start
Changing Sentora port:
On Sentora Panel go to Admin -> Module Admin -> Apache Config > Override a Virtualhost [Select VHost] ->
Tick Port Override.
Forward Port 80 to Overriden Port: 443
Custom Entry:
(Don't forget to replace domain.com with your domain's URL below:)
Save Vhost.
Wait on daemon update or run it manually and restart apache.
NOTICE: For CentOS replace apache2 with httpd
php -q /etc/sentora/panel/bin/daemon.php
service apache2 restart
Your domain should now be secured by SSL.
