Greetings WLUG!
Loving the discussion here..��
I am wondering��if any linux enthusiasts or freelancers would be interested in looking over my shoulder as I am trying to trouble- shoot my linux host? Am a relatively inexperienced enthusiast of the hands-on variety. I could certainly use your advice!����
To migitage��being a bore to the less interested.. I will post only�� a summary of the problem I am trying to solve.��
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem: After a reboot, my webserver process�� no longer serves SSL certificates to external browsers.
At the client/browser side�� this command: openssl s_client -connect <<MYSERVERNAME>>:443�� -msg
reports CONNECTED but there is a handshake failure and so "no peer certificate is available."
Now, this was working perfectly. before a re-boot. (I am using a self-signed SSL cert).
This probably means that the http server does not permit service on the port. As it was working prior, this is probably not a port-mapping or privilege issue.��
I suspect that on reboot the DHCP service�� has messed up host addressing but I could be wrong.Probably VirtualBox etc has something to do with it - well outside my depth!
My setup is: I am running the server on my home LAN,.. a VirtualBox VM�� (CENTOS/OracleLinux) hosted on a local ArchLinux install running on my old Intel Macbookpro.
Network setup is Home broadband�� LAN, typical Class_C home network.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Been trying various utilities like "nslookup -debug localhost" on the server to understand what is wrong/changed but I don't want to mess up my configuration too much..
Cheers,
Nitish.
