Re: Re SSL

Dear Tenon,

I have a pressing problem. which I will try to keep short and simple (as if...):

Mac OS 9.0.4, WebTen 3.x (latest but not updateted for IE) Nothing else running on Mac (G4 130 Meg RAM) All running on OT. Server currently running and working well, fast and stable (running OK for over three weeks) at: www.monti.co.uk (212.58.62.159) Server co-located on fast network (REDNET UK).

OK I want to get SSL running: I have set up another domain running as www.agave.co.uk ( on 212.58.62.159) the new domain runs fine.It configured and installed just fine via the Admin interface. All seems good. the second domain runs well and is fast and stable.

However if I try to enable SSL the server crash's: I issue a temp SSL cert (primary cert for www.monti.co.uk)then all goes well but if I then enable SSL (via admin) the server WILL crash. tried quite a few times on both domains = always same result.

SO: looked at FAQ and info etc and found the following to be odd:

1.) If I look at the Virtual host page for either (There are ONLY two) domains BOTH have (at the bottom) the 'DELETE VIRTUAL HOST', now the literature says that the main server domain WILL NOT HAVE THIS, so this looks odd and looks to me like I don't have something set correctly?

As a note: I have tried enabling Tenons TCP stack which I now can affect the IP settings, these seems to look OK and everything is running on one IP on OT. Also I have not manually configured any aspect of the server settings eg .conf, except via WebTen admin.

Anyone any clues as to where I start to trouble shoot this...and I am desperate.

I am running this up on a local test Mac as you read this just to see how a clean install looks+SSL (temp Cert)

I take it that I can apply for a real cert and install it when I get the server running or can the temp CSR be corrupted by my settings? ie if the temp cert does not work the real on won't either!

Regards

Mark.

ps all above posted to support@xxxxxxxxxx

OK, I have done a clean install of WebTEN and issued a temp cert. The same thing happens. An obvious effect is that the secure connection does run but the CACHE quits and then the server stalls and fails (requiring a restart or force quit).

I would guess this indicates something wrong with the default install. Anyone any ideas?

I am going to try removing every last trace of Tenon files on the system, Install WebTen and see if that works?

Regards

Mark.
