SSL on port 8080

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/controlpanels/ispconfig3/enable-ssl-for-the-ispconfig-3-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

 

Hello,

update your interface, if next version is out or install in expert mode and say yes to ssl and ispconfig do everything for you.

Regards,
Xaver

 

hey appreciate your help. I guess I will try reinstalling ispconfig again since update need to wait for new release.

Code:

root@server1:~# ispconfig_update.sh

>> 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/controlpanels/ispconfig3/enable-ssl-for-the-ispconfig-3-controlpanel/

On the final step I was greeted with this error:

Code:

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!

 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

 

I did actually. I search the forum and found the your same advice over here http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53072&highlight=ssl+port but I was greeted with error:

Code:

root@server1:~/ispconfig3_install/install# php -q update.php

>> 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:

Code:

$this->linkId = mysql_connect($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):

Code:

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.

 

hey thanks. My apologies but I had to minimize from asking support here because I'm embarrassed I only active here in this forum when I need support. I don't like to see as a lechers you know That's why I prefer to goongling/search and DIY

The update works great and ispconfig created the self signed SSL. Now the problem is SSL. I want to use my own CA issued cert. In

Code:

/usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl

I found 4 files.

For the cert I paste in SSL bundle text form in Sites >> Web Domain >> SSL
Where should I paste the SSL bundle cert in

Code:

/usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl

I could upload screenshot if you want to. I hope I explain everything clear. Thank you.

 

Yes I copy the text from my website SSL directory and paste it to ISPConfig SSL directory. This is the exact step I did.

My website SSL directory

Code:

www.mydomain.com.crt
www.mydomain.com.csr
www.mydomain.com.key
www.mydomain.com.key.org

ISPconfig SSL directory. Noted that cert from key.org is pasted to key.secure

Code:

ispserver.crt
ispserver.csr
ispserver.key
ispserver.key.secure

After that I restart apache and SSL appears to be working across all browsers. I guess bundle certificate is not needed for ispconfig SSL directory :/

Appreciate your help Xaver and Till Hope it helps anyone.
