Help needed! SSL certificate replaced, but site delivers old one still?!

Paul Lynch:
Hi,
Having re-read Joel Olson's blog post I think that my understanding of the process is incorrect - I think Sharepoint only stores the fact that a site is SSL enabled - it doesn't appear to know anything about the certificate in use, which makes more sense in hindsight.
You say that you have re-started IIS and it hasn't made any difference, so assuming that you haven't already re-booted the machine at this point I would suggest doing the following :
1. Issue an iisreset /stop command
2. Then type net stop http followed by net start http
3. Issue an iisreset /start command
Now, try browsing to your Sharepoint site over SSL and see what happens.
If you still get the old cert then my only other suggestions would be that maybe you have got more than one front-end web server in your Sharepoint farm (with the old certificate installed on your other server) or that maybe there is a hardware SSL accelerator on your network with the old cert installed on it. I don't know what else to suggest, I've never seen anything like this before.
Regards,

I have the same problem as the OP, except I'm on IIS 7.0 and Server 2008. I tried the steps you mentioned above and now I can't even access the HTTPS site. Please help.
