Hi Guys, I have an issue, (And its not very often I know) but I installed a ssl cert on a website in ispconfig, and now apache will not start If I run apache2 or sudo apache2 I get apache2: bad user name $[apache_run_user} Help I have seached and searched !!! TIA
Go to the apache sites-enabled folder and delete the symlink for the website where you enabled the ssl certificate and then restart apache. Then login to ispconfig and uncheck the ssl checkbox for that site and click on save. To find the resaon for the problem, please describe how exactly did you install the ssl cert? As apache does not start if the ssl cert is damaged or if you created the ssl cert outside of ispconfig so that the ssl key of the cert is incorrect.
Hi Till - Thanks for the help - How do I del a sym link - sorry still learning with the help of the forums ! -Me being silly ! I have deleted the site from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled Apache error still there !
This is what I did, I got the CSR from the server got geotrust ssl generated and pasted the cert in the cert box and selected save. Thats when it all went pair shapped. I removed the sym link and rebooted and the sites are all working apart from the site that I enabled the ssl on all I get now is the this is the default page for this web server !
What error message do you get when you restart Apache? Any errors in Apache's error log? Is mod_ssl enabled?
Hi Falco, I did try and look at the log, and could not see anything, not sure how to check if mod ssl bit ?? J
Hi Falko Module ssl already enabled Restart ok. Now website does not crash the system, but https: is no longer available for that site ??
