CertWatch indicates expired cert but can't fix it

Patrick Nelson — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 11:09:46 -0400

One of our servers running Fedora 16 started sending the following message to root in an email:

################# SSL Certificate Warning ################

Certificate for hostname 'server11.<servername>.com', in file (or by nickname):         /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt

The certificate needs to be renewed; this can be done using the 'genkey' program.

Browsers will not be able to correctly connect to this web site using SSL until the certificate is renewed.

##########################################################
Generated by certwatch(1)

Because it is a self-signed cert you really can not use genkey to renew, so I tried issuing a new self-signed cert with:

grep SSLCertificate /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

and grabbed the location of the certs

SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key

Then I checked the permissions of these files with

la /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key

Then I created the cert with

openssl req -new -days 365 -x509 -nodes -out /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt -keyout /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key

When prompted I entered

Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
..........................................+++
.................+++
writing new private key to '/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key'
-----
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [XX]:US
State or Province Name (full name) []:<MyState>
Locality Name (eg, city) [Default City]:<MyCity>
Organization Name (eg, company) [Default Company Ltd]:<MyCompany>
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:<MyDepartment>
Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:server11.<servername>.com
Email Address []:<Admin Email>

I then checked the files again with

la /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key

All looked OK and the new files were there with the right permissions. So all seemed to work out fine but I'm still receiving the cert expiration warning. What am I missing?

Httpd Fails After SSL Configuration [Solved]

SilentCode — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 09:32:00 -0400

I am not a linux expert, but I have some knowledge from my experience in creating a local server to be used for my development purposes.

I have followed the instructions on this page: ServerWorld: Configure SSL to create the SSL key and to configure the ssl.conf. However, after following all the instructions, I restarted my httpd service... but it fails.

I don't get any error message... so I wasn't sure how to look for the error or fix it.

I am doing this on my newly created virtual Fedora 15 (64 bit) server machine.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

How to include parts of live log files into website

djsmiley2k — Sat, 08 May 2010 12:29:35 -0400

How would I go about having apache pull some lines from log files to be displayed on a website.

I want to pull the last 5 vistiors IPs (possiblly while censoring them slightly) and the last 3 IPs to be banned for trying to connect via SSH (which is currently blocked using fail2ban.)

I really have no clue where to start with this other than I already have apache up and running and my website is hosted in what can be thought of as a "normal" configuration.

The log files are in /var/log/ and I can control the access to them.

Lingerd for apache 2.2

S2eve — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 13:06:24 -0400

Hi,

php.net suggest to use Lingerd for apache, but the problem is that it's not working with apache2.2 is there something similar for apache2?

*"Lingerd is a daemon (service) designed to take over the job of properly closing network connections from an http server like Apache. Because of some technical complications in the way TCP/IP and HTTP work, each Apache process currently wastes a lot of time "lingering" on client connections, after the page has been generated and sent. Lingerd takes over this job, leaving the Apache process immediately free to handle a new connection. As a result, Lingerd makes it possible to serve the same load using considerably fewer Apache processes. " http://talks.php.net/show/perf_tunning/11*

RHEL5 2-Node Apache Cluster w/multiple floating IPs

Linville79 — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 00:30:46 -0400

I'm trying to build a 2-node cluster using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 AP that will host multiple sites (domains) with each having their own IP address.

So far, I have a working 2-node cluster that is properly binding two floating IP addresses to the Apache service. However, only one of the addresses is properly responding with it's web content. The other address simply says that the page can not be found.

So, my first and most important question is:

Is it possible for a single 2-node cluster to have 2 floating IP addresses that will each server their own web content, such as www.example.com and www.example2.com?

I have been searching for documentation and answers online for days, to no resolve.

Thanks!
