Recent outage -- SSL cert issue
Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2026 11:15 pm
Site is up again. Apologies for it being down for a day. In reality, it was up if you didn't use SSL, but browsers will always use SSL if available so that's not exactly helpful. lol
The short version is the SSL cert got "stuck" and needed to be renewed but it couldn't. For my future reference, here is something that needs to be done (I'm about to do it) to fix this if it happens again --

Edit: Directions followed. This should hopefully not be a problem again. I guess we'll find out in 61 days.
Thanks,
