--- Quote ---service httpd-e-smith status
down: /service/httpd-e-smith: 1s, want up
I have re-booted the machine a couple of times in the forlorn hope that it would restart.

what does this show
config show httpd-e-smith


to answer an earlier question
man ls
or google
linux ls command


You appear to be using sme8.2 but the Wiki article refers to installing SoftEther VPN on sme 9, so I wonder if there are some issues/incompatibilities.
Perhaps you should try it on a clean sme9 install, maybe a virtual server.

Did I Really Try That?:

Well, to the extent that with various browsers I get a bit more than just time-outs, yes.

Lightning on Android (where with tiny fingers I previously could log on):
net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Opera 12:
Argues about the certificate being for ????????.softether.net and not valid. When told to accept the certificate it gives a 404: The requested URL /server-manager/ was not found on this server.

Firefox 10 (which until yesterday was very happy connecting):
(Error code: sec_error_inadequate_cert_type)

Firefox 51 tells me my connection is not secure. When pressed, it tells me that the certificate for ??????.softether.net is self signed. Did I want to make an exception? Then like the Opera 12 I get 404: The requested URL /server-manager/ was not found on this server.

So Apache has become misconfigured.

I am short of spare disk space at present, so the obvious turn it off and re-install is not possible. Any other ways of tackling it?

Did I Really Try That?:

Yes, I stated that I am using SME8.2, and as previously stated I have insufficient spare disk space for the mandatory back up before the destructive installation of SME9.

Reading the forum posts that led up to the HOWTO it is clear that he had SoftEther working happily on SME8.0. Possibly a false assumption, but as the HOWTO contained no points of difference between 8 and 9, I assumed that it should all drop into place.

Unless SME9 will run on a Celeron 733MHz box with 512 MB RAM (maximum possible supported by motherboard) I have no spare hardware, and I certainly have nothing that will support any type of VM.

Stefano:

--- Code: ---[warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `server4.equalfirst.local' does NOT match server n$          [#this and previous line repeated twice]
[warn] Init: SSL server IP/port conflict: dotco:443 (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:729) vs. equalfi$
[warn] Init: SSL server IP/port conflict: equalfirst.local:443 (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:597) $
[warn] Init: You should not use name-based virtual hosts in conjunction with SSL!!

--- End code ---

please, post the result of

--- Code: ---netstat -napt | grep 443

--- End code ---

it seems that another service is using TCP 443 and so apache can't run.
if it is the case, stop etherVPN and restart apache
other that start planning migration to SME9, you'd tell us why you need etherVPN.. maybe we'd find another way to achieve your aims..
