      Is it possible to restart the webConfigurator from webConfigurator natively?

      Being able to do so is useful when replacing its certificate: webConfigurator must be restarted, which I currently must do by hopping over to the console, and using option '11) Restart webConfigurator'

      By natively, I mean not doing so via 'Diagnostics' -> 'Command Prompt' with a command like /etc/rc.restart_webgui.

        AFAIK, when you select and save a new certificate here :

        or acme.sh regenerates a new certificate, the web server (nginx) will restart.
        PHP ... not sure. But easy to find out. When nginx restarted, did the PID of php-fpm also change ?

        Btw :

        Have a look at this script file - what acme.sh uses :

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Yes it should do that anyway. If you renew the cert for example.
