CyberPanel's SSL Auto-Renewal Can Silently Fail — Here's the Fix

A CyberPanel-managed server showed SSL renewal as successful in the UI, but the browser was still receiving the old certificate.

The root cause was acme.sh being registered against the Let's Encrypt staging CA instead of the production CA.

The fix was to remove the staging registration, issue a fresh production certificate, install it in the expected Let’s Encrypt path, and reload OpenLiteSpeed.

The author also built scripts to bypass CyberPanel’s scheduler and verify HTTP-01 challenge reachability before renewal.
