I recently updated from sme 7pre2 (I think) to 7final. and whenever I try to acces either my server-manager, or my webmail via www.wacomalt.com/webmail or /server-manager, I get the error
"You have received an invalid certificate. Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the followign information:
Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number."
any Idea why this is happening? it only happens on things that try to use secure connections.
also, the error olnly shows up when using firefox. in IE, it just doesnt even try to load the page. "page could not be displayed"
-
You probably have a cert 'accepted' in firefox from before.
Tools >> Options >> Advanced.

Just delete the old one and restart Firefox.
HTH

I just did what you said, and I still get the error.
thanks for the suggestion though.
any other ideas?

Nope...
I'm sure thats all I did when I had that same problem. After deleting just had to close every firefox window. Similar thing with IE.
Maybe create a custom certificate..

Thanks for that suggestion, I went through with it, but still no luck :(
I wonder what it means that the certificate has the same "serial number"...
wait!
I just deleted the certificate for my router's setup page, and that ..somewhat fixed it. now I get a 404 error on both the server manager and webmail...
so now... what do I test here? I'm gonna reset the server, that helps sometimes.
EDIT: the reset did not help in this case.
-
So you did the howto and now you get 404's
-
I have the same issue as th OP. I get 404 errors while trying to access the server-manager or webmail or even my website.
Internet works andlocal pop3 works fine also. httpd is running.
I made another post besides this one ... sorry didn't see it before I posted.

https://ip/server-manager
Use the ip address of your server.
EDIT:
Or login as Admin and go to server-manager via the server console.
How did you determine httpd is running ?
-

Every cert has a serial number which should be unique from the same issuer for the same site.

SMEServer's serial number is "random" based on the time the cert was created.
-
ok, I understand that now.. now I just need to figure out the 404 error I'm getting. are there error logs or anything like that for server-manager access or webmail access?
I think I saw something about the logs, but I'm having trouble finding where they are now.

I did a restart via
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd=admin restart
and
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith restart
and both come up as "OK"
I can log into the server-manger via the console on the sme server, but cannot acces it via a computer on the local network. (even if I use the ip address of the server.)

I don't know.
If you are on the local network server-manager and webmail (when activated) should just work.
-
I don't know.

I know, but they don't.
is there a way I can backup some files without server-manager and do a fresh install?
This system serves about 100 people and they are getting upset at the delay.

Sorry, can't help with that. You might want to start a new thread on that topic.
Do your iptables log files show anything? Is it just a stock SME7 in server/gateway mode?
-
it is a stock server/gateway no mods.
the only error that seems to be in my access logs is a sshcache error. I have my chache off (could this be the issue?

I'm not famililar with sshcache in anyway. If it was you that turned it off and you can reactivate with no problems then if it was me I would give it ago.
However, have these pages ever displayed after your cache was turned off?

You do have access to server manager.
-
I only have access to the server manager from the sme box itself. I cannot log in over the web from my local network. I get a 404 error.

Sorry, my mistake.
Can you tunnel in via SSH ?
-
ack hijacked thread!
joking joking. I just havent checked replies for a long while...
anyways, which logs should I look at to find errors for the webmail and server-manager?
-
SSH login as admin and see if you can get to server-manager that way.
-
I can login that way.
-
Webmail and server-manager over HTTP/S is still not working.
could anything with my problems here point to network issues? like an incorrect setup? (though nothing has changed, and it WAS working...)

well, that topic helps a little but thats the opposite ordeal as mine.
His, he couldnt access outside of his network, mine I cannot access INSIDE my network.. or outside for that matter.
from outside my network, I get a time out on the webmail and server-manager
-
Can you explain what you went through with ?

This will fix your problem
OK, got the web and admin pages running again.
I deleted the private key and certificate:
Code:
rm /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/darkstar.edenmonarolabour.org.crt
rm /home/e-smith/ssl.key/darkstar.edenmonarolabour.org.key
and then ran
Code:
signal-event domain-modify
If anyone needs to delete those pesky lock files (I needed to to this quite often), here is a script you can use:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
LOCK_FILE="./killthese.txt"
# First stop the webservers
/etc/init.d/httpd-admin stop
/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith stop
# Now produce the lock file
ipcs -s | grep www | cut -d " " -f2 > $LOCK_FILE
# open file test.data for reading
exec 6<$LOCK_FILE
# read until end of file
while read -u 6 dta
do
echo deleting resource "$dta"
ipcrm sem $dta
done
# close file killthese.txt
exec 6<&-
# delete the data file
rm -f $LOCK_FILE
#now start the webservers again
/etc/init.d/httpd-admin start
/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith start
