Let's Encrypt .htaccess to Fix Issues with Drupal or Wordpress Getting "cannot connect" Error

	# add this before all other rewrite rules in your .htaccess
	# backup your Apache file(s) first to avoid breaking things
	# BE SURE TO TEST AND RELOAD APACHE AFTER MAKING THIS EDIT

	# allow Let's Encrypt to access it's challenge file without the rewrite rules screwing them up
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteRule "^.well-known/acme-challenge" - [L]

	# Now, run an error check and reload Apache
	/usr/sbin/apachectl configtest && /etc/init.d/httpd reload

Apache Disable SSL v2 and v3

	# Whereever this line is defined (grep all Apache .conf files to make sure it's not defined in multiple places)
	# use the following to disable SSL v2 and v3
	# This is a best practice as of Feb 2016, but this is subject to change over time, so don't take this as gospel
	SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3

Let's Encrypt Manual Webroot SSL Install for CentOS 6 or 7 With a Cron Job

	# Change to the root user
	su root

	# EPEL is used by Letsencrypt auto to install packages it needs. This doesn't install anything, it just means
	# extra packages in this Linux repo are available for installation
	yum install epel-release

	# Ideally you'd already have, or else install, Python 2.7 to avoid certain Python related messages, but if you
	# don't want to bother it will work with Python 2.6
	# See https://digitz.org/blog/lets-encrypt-ssl-centos-7-setup/ for more on Python 2.7 and CentOS

Updating Apache to Named Virtual Hosts For Multiple SSL Certificates on the Same 1 IP Address

	# BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU CHANGE YOUR Apache CONFIGURATION
	# Backup your configuration before changing and run an error check before applying changes

	# If you have 1 IP address for each SSL certificate then you probably don't need to do any of this
	# If you have more than 1 site per IP address then this worked for me.
	# It requires Apache with with SNI, which should already be part of Apache since it's been around for many years
	# For more info see https://www.digicert.com/ssl-support/apache-multiple-ssl-certificates-using-sni.htm
	# I changed to named Virtual Hosts https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/vhosts/name-based.html , like this
	vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
