SSL on port 8080

[laptop_user]

Hi everyone,

I need help with this. I successfully install SSL on ISPConfig 3. Love it. It's so easy.

Now when I try to access the control panel the https://www.mydomain.com:8080 it does not work but without the SSL it works http://www.mydomain.com:8080

Anyway after further googling I found this tutorial http://www.faqforge.com/linux/contro...-controlpanel/ but since I already install the SSL cert on ispconfig and the cert is not self signed I wasn't sure to start at which step..

If anyone already had this covered I appreciated if you guys/gals could guide me with this.

Thanks in advance

>> Update

Please choose the update method. For production systems select 'stable'.
The update from svn is only for development systems and may break your current setup.

Select update method (stable,svn) [stable]:

There are no updates available for ISPConfig 3.0.3.3
root@server1:~#

Also do you know is there anyway I could just use the control panel php page without the port 8080 thing? because in theory that would automatically solve SSL on port 8080 problem.

thank you.

EDIT
So I blindly followed the steps here with no knowledge with what I'm doing http://www.faqforge.com/linux/contro...-controlpanel/

On the final step I was greeted with this error:

root@server1:/etc/apache2/ssl# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Syntax error on line 48 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ispconfig.vhost:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl/ispserver.crt' does not exist or is empty
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
 failed!

I always have this question in my mind. Either updating or using the step from the link above I need to create a new SSL Request cert. So in other word my current provided cert is useless because I need to paste the new cert request to my cert provider and pasting the provided cert to ispconfig. Am I correct?

I appreciate if anyone could help me with the error above.

Thanks in advance

Please do what xaver suggested and run a ispconfig update where you select to create new ssl certs. If your ispconfig is up to date, then download the ispconfig tar.gz manually from ispconfig.org, unpack it and run the update.php script.

You can use a existing cert as well, but only after you did the step with the update that xaver described. Afterwards you can replace the key and crt file in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl/ directory with your existing cert and key.

I did actually. I search the forum and found the your same advice over here http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...light=ssl+port but I was greeted with error:

>> Update

Operating System: Debian 6.0 (Squeeze/Sid) or compatible

This application will update ISPConfig 3 on your server.
mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect
PHP Warning:  mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /root/ispconfig3_install/install/lib/mysql.lib.php on line 78
PHP Notice:  Uninitialized string offset: 0 in /root/ispconfig3_install/install/lib/update.lib.php on line 98
PHP Fatal error:  Cannot use string offset as an array in /root/ispconfig3_install/install/lib/update.lib.php on line 98

This is what in mysql.lib.php in line 78:

$this->linkId = mysql_connect($this->dbHost, $this->dbUser, $this->dbPass);

I assume the first error is mysql error so I add all new credentials in mysql.lib.php (at the top section):

class db
{
        var $dbHost = "localhost";                // hostname of the MySQL server
        var $dbName = "dbispconfig";              // logical database name on that server
        var $dbUser = "root";             // database authorized user
        var $dbPass = "mydbpass";                // user's password
        var $dbCharset = "utf8";      // what charset comes and goes to mysql: utf8 / latin1
        var $linkId = 0;                  // last result of mysql_connect()
        var $queryId = 0;                 // last result of mysql_query()
        var $record     = array();        // last record fetched
    var $autoCommit = 1;      // Autocommit Transactions
        var $currentRow;                  // current row number
        var $errorNumber = 0;     // last error number
        var $errorMessage = "";   // last error message
        var $errorLocation = "";  // last error location
        var $show_error_messages = false;

but still got the same error.


Please help Thank you.

Please undo all changes that you made in the file mysql.lib.php. Make sure that the file is exactly as it was before! If you want that we are able help you, dont do any hectic changes in the sources of ispconfig as thats not required and you will mess up our setup more and more by doing that.

Your problem is that you changed the mysql root password without changing it in the file /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/mysql_clientdb.conf. So edit only this one file and set the new root password there.
