weird ssl issues
« on: April 01, 2007, 02:39:39 AM »
Hi,
i installed these two contribs on sme7.1.3,

- smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.10.0.2-0.dmay
- smeserver-torrentflux-0.9-3

but cannot access both of them. Before even thinking of raising a bug, i'd like to have some feedback, as it's a misconfiguration for sure.

as i said, both of them are not accessible via https, smeserver-torrentflux throws an http 403 for https://server/torrent, log says

Code: [Select]
[error] [client 192.168.10.247] client denied by server configuration: /home/e-smith/files/ibays/torrent/html

configuration is:
Code: [Select]

[root@ctu ~]# config show torrentflux
torrentflux=service
DbPassword=ciGe7pk22***********************NKnaZMnrSm2ymHYCung4JfkVsx6z5
    Name=Torrent client
    PublicAccess=global-pw-remote


httpd.conf (this seems to be very wrong, anyway modified to point /opt but no good)
Code: [Select]
   
<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:443>
[...]
ScriptAlias /torrent/cgi-bin /home/e-smith/files/ibays/torrent/cgi-bin
    Alias       /torrent/files   /home/e-smith/files/ibays/torrent/files
    Alias       /torrent        /home/e-smith/files/ibays/torrent/html


phpmyadmin contrib asks for user/password, then frameset loads (page's <title> is rendered ok), but both frames aren't loading, firefox loops and tells something like "the site is redirecting the request for this address in a way it will never get completed", and it happens with ssl-only.
if i comment out SSLRequireSSL it loads fine in plain http.

Code: [Select]

# phpMyAdmin
Alias /phpmyadmin /opt/phpmyadmin
<Directory /opt/phpmyadmin>
    #SSLRequireSSL
    Options -Indexes
    AllowOverride None
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from all
    AuthName "phpMyAdmin"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthExternal pwauth
    require user admin
    Satisfy all
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3
    php_flag  magic_quotes_gpc  on
    php_flag  track_vars        on
</Directory>


the only warning/error i get into httpd error_log is

Code: [Select]

[warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `ctu.domain' does NOT match server name!?


could that be the issue? any other log you may require is available.

sorry for the long post, and thanks for helping.

Did you create a ibay called torrent? If so get rid of it (I think).
Regards,
William

IF I give advise.. It's only if it was me....

Hi William, sorry, my bad.
I created that ibay to store downloaded data (it had to be very late tonight..), but I suppose it's better to create a new one with different name.
Anyway, removed the ibay, uninstalled torrentflux and reinstalled, modified config.php, now I get the welcome screen, admin/admin then back again the loop,

and the firefox error about the site trying to redirect the url, which is the same issue I have for phpmyadmin.

thanks

Did you try another browser.
I didn't have any problems with firefox on linux or opera and explorer on windows but it's worth a shot.
"It should just work" if it doesn't report it. Thanks!

yup, tried that too, ie7 just complains of a dns error after admin/admin, while firefox gives me at least the redirection error

edit: lynx on same sme7 loops too adding at each acceptance of the invalid self signed cert a /login.phptorrent to the end of the url

Then be sure to disable the proxy function in the general settings, if you need to use this function then you'll have to make an entry for /torrent.
