To move your existing SSL configuration (used with AWS/Apache) from `shareyourthoughts-le-ssl.conf` to a new one `wp-rock.conf`, follow these steps:

### βœ… Step-by-step Instructions

#### 1. **Disable the old config**

sudo a2dissite shareyourthoughts-le-ssl.conf

#### 2. **(Optional) Delete the old conf file**
Only do this if you're sure you no longer need it:

sudo rm /etc/apache2/sites-available/shareyourthoughts-le-ssl.conf

#### 3. **Copy existing content to new config**
If you want to migrate the settings:

sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/shareyourthoughts-le-ssl.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/wp-rock.conf

Then open the new file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/wp-rock.conf

Update the following:
– `ServerName` and `ServerAlias` (if needed)
– Paths to the document root
– SSL certificate paths if the domain is different (`SSLCertificateFile`, `SSLCertificateKeyFile`, etc.)

#### 4. **Enable the new site**

sudo a2ensite wp-rock.conf

#### 5. **Test Apache config**

sudo apache2ctl configtest

You should see: `Syntax OK`

#### 6. **Reload Apache**

sudo systemctl reload apache2

Let me know if `wp-rock.conf` is for a different domain or if you need help modifying the SSL certificate paths.

okay now add again ssl to aws

To **add SSL to your new `wp-rock.conf` Apache virtual host on AWS**, follow these steps assuming you're using **Let's Encrypt with Certbot**:

## βœ… Step-by-Step: Add SSL to New Apache Config (`wp-rock.conf`)

### 1. **Ensure Apache conf is enabled and domain points to AWS EC2**
Make sure your domain (e.g., `example.com`) points to your EC2 public IP and that `wp-rock.conf` is active:

sudo a2ensite wp-rock.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2

Verify your `wp-rock.conf` contains:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/your-site-folder

    # Other settings...
</VirtualHost>

### 2. **Install Certbot (if not installed)**

sudo apt update
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache -y

### 3. **Run Certbot for Apache**

Run this to automatically update `wp-rock.conf` with SSL:

sudo certbot --apache -d example.com -d www.example.com

Certbot will:
– Generate SSL certs
– Update `wp-rock.conf` with “ and `SSLCertificateFile`/`SSLCertificateKeyFile`
– Reload Apache

If you're asked to redirect HTTP to HTTPS, you can choose the redirect option.

### 4. **Verify HTTPS**
Open `https://example.com` in the browser. You should see a secure lock icon πŸ”’.

### 5. **Set Up Auto-Renewal (Optional)**
Let’s Encrypt certs expire every 90 days, but Certbot can auto-renew:

sudo certbot renew --dry-run

Would you like me to check your current domain setup or give you exact commands tailored to your domain and EC2 server path?
