Title: Httpd Problem
Post by: Hui on April 28, 2007, 10:43:32 AM

my server console is repeating the following on the screen approx every 1 second

Syntax error on line 130 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/home/e-smith/ssl.crt/server.Servername.local.crt' does not exist or is empty

I have no idea what has happened ?

Any ideas welcome

Hui...

It seems that somehow your certificate went AWOL. Are you able to login (either as admin or as root) or is even that not working?

I can login with Putty as Root and Admin
or start another console and login
I have no Http access to the server or internet access through the server

I have tried a re-install (update) of SME 7.1 with no luck either

What does line 130 contain?  Does /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf expand without error?

Not sure what may have lead up to your error but you could try:

Code: [Select]

signal-event domain-modify

Have you installed/updated packages recently without running these commands after:

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade
and

Code: [Select]

signal-event reboot

?

Obviously your server is not named 'server.Servername'.  Try the above then (only if necessary) you can regenerate the certs.

Line 130 is
SSLCertificateFile: /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/server.my_surname.local.crt

obviously my_surname is my actual surname

the file /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/server.my_surname.local.crt exists in the correct directory

doing the 2 signal commands made no difference

Help

That's not obvious unless you tell people.

the file /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/server.my_surname.local.crt exists in the correct directory

Then,  if the original error message is to be trusted, it must be empty.

Moving this topic to the SME Server 7.x forum, it is more appropriate there. Thanks!

Not really. It should be in the Bug Tracker.
