Upgrade from 2.2.17 to 2.2.27 fails.

[StevenD]

Hi All,

I have a problem with updating ISPConfig2 from 2.2.17 to 2.2.37, sorry put 2.2.27 in the title.
I am running Debian 6.0 Squeeze.

I have downloaded the tar.gz from ISPConfig.org and extracted the files.
I then cd into install_ispconfig and type ./setup

It all starts beavering away but then comes up with the following message.

./configure:Error: APACI failed
ERROR: Could not configure Apache

I have looked in the apache logs and see nothing around the time it was installed.

If i go to https://192.168.2.3:81 I only get a reply saying "This webpage is not available"

Any help is greatly appreciated, even if it means helping me revert back to 2.2.17 as that was working.

Thanks

Steve

Sorry just realised there is more to the apache setup as follows.

A little more info that happens when I try to restart it.

Hi Falko,

Thanks for your reply.
I have done what was said, and installation did get beyond that point but when it tried to start the ISPConfig server it gave the following errors.

Starting ISPConfig system...

OK I tried to reinstall the previous version by extracting the files out of temp into /home and
/root

That seemed to work but I still cant start the server.

It seems that its the ssl that causing the problem.

The mySQL database remains intact with all the data.

See below, I a just start apachectl it start ok, but if I try apachectl startssl it cant start.

server:~# /root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl start

Try

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart

If that doesn't work, check the error log in /root/ispconfig/httpd/logs.

Hi Falko,

Thank you again for your reply.

I tried that and it failed again with the same error.

This is what was recorded in the error log.

[Sat Feb 19 17:58:56 2011] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Unable to read server certificate from file /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt (OpenSSL library error follows)

Hi Falko,

I have remade a new key etc by entering the following commands.

openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout myserver.key -out server.csr
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

I then copied the server.key into /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.key
copied server.crt into /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.crt
and copied server.csr into /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.csr/server.csr

I basically just followed the steps upto and including step 4 here - http://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_t...rtificate.html

I then restarted the server using /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart

All worked ok.

I'm just wondering if this is a correct fix?

One thing it no longer asks me for a passphrase when starting the server like it used to?

By the way I have backed up any of the files that I have replaced just in case.

Thanks for your time.

Steve

That's how it's supposed to be. Take a look at http://www.ispconfig.org/ispconfig-2...r-ispconfig-2/ :

"In step 7 (“Encrypting RSA private key of CA with
a pass phrase for security [ca.key]“)and step 8 (“Encrypting
RSA private key of SERVER with a pass phrase for security
[server.key]“) of the certificate creation process
you are asked if you want to encrypt the respective key now.
Choose n there because otherwise you will always
be asked for a password whenever you want to restart the ISPConfig
system which means it cannot be restarted without human interaction!"

Thanks Falko,

I must have done it wrong when I set it up originally over 2 years ago, I just thought it was the norm.

Once again your support has been fantastic.
