Before you begin installation, check to see if you or an installed contrib have configured any custom values for your TLS/SSL certificate:
 
  # config show modSSL
 
  # config show modSSL

config show modSSL > "/root/db_configuration_modSSL_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)"

or to be sure, a copy of the complete configuration database (a good practice before any action such as manual changing of db values or installing a contrib):
 +
config show > "/root/db_configuration_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)"
