Forum OpenACS Q&A: setting up ssl

Collapse
Posted by Paul Owen on
Hi, I am trying to set up https, I followed the step in the installation guide. and got this line in the error.log file:

[17/Oct/2003:03:14:53][1218.8201][-nsopenssl-] Notice: nsopenssl: listening on https://hostname (address:443)

and I thought this should be an indication of being successfully listening on the port. However, when I typed in

https://hostname

in my browser, it doesn't come up, it is working perfectly under

http://hostname

in config.tcl, the sample script set the ServerCAFile to ca.pem and ServerCADir ca, however in my serverroot/etc/certs/ folder it only contains certfile.pem and keyfile.pem which is setted up as what is written in the installation guide. is this a possible problem? if so, what should be the content of certfile.pem be?

also, is there anything that i have to set up before I can use the https port to connect to the server?

Thanks a lot

And btw, when I have uncomment

#ns_param  nsopenssl      ${bindir}/nsopenssl.so

the package management site under acs-admin/apm/ is not accessible...is it becuase it is assuming that I have to use https to access it?

Thanks
