Hi - when I am installing a new system with ftp (TLS) the directory /etc/ssl/private/ already exists and contains: ssl-cert-snakeoil.key In the past when I run mkdir /etc/ssl/private the directory and it's contents are overwritten Might this be the cause of FTP server showing offline on a new install? I have had fewer problems since not creating the directory but I'd like to know what the ssl-cert-snakeoil.key is used for. Thanks
The snakeoil cert is the default ssl cert for services that use ssl in the linux distribution like the apache default ssl vhost (see file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl). Never seen this on my Debian Servers yet, its always online after I installed ISPconfig. Which Linux distribution do you use?
