Default [SOLVED] installation of existing ssl certificate new install. Certificate not expor

I've just taken my new install live and everything went well except that I didn't export the certificate from the old server before wiping it.

I have the original files, including the generated csr from the old server, original certificate file and original root ca.

Is it possible to use the old csr and install the existing certificate I have?

I do have a backup of the old server, but I'd really rather not re-install it if possible.

The old server is 5.11 and new one 5.14.

Thanks,

Mark

Are you not able to import it from within the Admin GUI ?

I get an error, which is probably due to the csr, which may be slightly different due to something like the alternative name or location or something.

Code:
Your certificate was not installed due to the error : system failure: XXXXX ERROR: Unmatching certificate (/opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/zimbraAdmin/tmp/current.crt) and private key (/opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/zimbraAdmin/tmp/current_comm.key) pair.

I have the original CSR file, can this be used in the new install?

Have a read through Bug 23294 – commercial certs fail to install as you may be able to do it from the CLI.

I managed to get it working using these instructions

I didn't have to re-install and export, I just extracted the /opt/zimbra/ssl folder from the backup and followed the instructions to the letter and had no issues.
