• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Question vhost SSL certificate update from cli without restarting Apache

Regular Pleskian
Hi,

I need to basically create a certificate in Plesk being given the key and the bundle (CA+cert) and update the vhost's SSL configuration accordingly. At the moment I'm doing something like this:
/usr/local/psa/bin/certificate --create "www.${MYSITE} cert" \
-domain ${MYSITE} \
-key-file /etc/ssl/keys/www.${MYSITE}.key \
-cert-file /etc/ssl/certs/www.${MYSITE}.pem \
-cacert-file /etc/ssl/certs/www.${MYSITE}.pem
/usr/local/psa/bin/site -u ${MYSITE} -certificate-name "www.${MYSITE} cert"

... which is fine, but "site" command restarts Apache and this isn't something I want. I checked its help and it doesn't support the "-no-restart" switch.
How can I get this functionality in cli without restarting the webserver(s)? I just need to rebuild the configuration, then sending httpd and nginx services the graceful & reload signals respectively. Restarting a busy webserver isn't really an option.
Thanks.
 
Igor, thanks for this, I have. However, I'm still yet to find a way to update the site configuration without restarting/reloading the webserver(s). I need to be able to do bulk updates for an array of domains, but only reload apache & nginx once the job's done. Any hint will be greatly appreciated, I'm also willing to assist with beta testing, should this be implemented as a feature :)
