Certificate accidentally deleted, now WebAdmin, Internet access broken

Doh! [:$] I accidentally deleted the certificate that was initially created when I setup my ASG 7. Everything was working great, but I decided to change the hostname. So, I created another certificate with the new host name, and then deleted the old one. I should've taken a clue when it said, "Are you sure you want to delete the certificate in use?" I could see no way to use the new, renamed cert. So now, I can no longer access WebAdmin, portal, or the internet. I can login to the box from the console as root, and I can even ping it, but not much else. I have rebooted the ASG several times with no luck.

Is there anything I can do short of rebuilding? I did not get a chance to get a backup, unfortunately.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have a recent backup? If so, copy it to a USB stick, stick it in the system, and reboot. The Astaro will automatically restore your backup file.

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to take a backup of it before the certificate was deleted. Would that prevent WebAdmin and Internet access?

Revert to factory setup/redo if you don't have a backup.
It's one of those things that is only fixed that way.

I was afraid that's what the answer would be. Thanks!

I just rebuilt my ASG and all is well again (made a backup). If I use the method you describe above, can the backup file be encrypted when it is put on a USB stick and used to restore the system, or does it have to be unencrypted?

Thanks!

It must be in unencrypted form to be restored at boot as I describe. You can always restore an encrypted backup if the Astaro system is booted all the way up from Webadmin.
