SSL and version 6.44

[kingja]

Bruce,

     I recompiled an app that was on 6.27 (I think) with version 6.44.  I set the app to use 443 and entered my certificate path.  When I try to access the Web server locally (https://127.0.0.1) or from another machine using https://myIPAddress, I get an error HTTP 403 forbidden...The web site requires you to login.  I noticed that the certificate folder appears under the app folder and the web folder.  Not sure if this is something new in 6.44 but when I copy my certificate there, it is deleted upon running the web server.  I'm getting back to building SSL servers after a few months away and seem to have missed something.  Can you help?

Bruce,

     I tried a different port and it works.  So something else on my development machine must be using 443.  Still perplexed!

Bruce,

     After doing some research about netstat, it found that one of the VMWare components was using port 443.  Stopping the service in question solved the problem.  Sheesh!

Thanks,

Jeff

From the release notes;

6.19 (10 February 2012)

Important Change: The setting on the WebServer procedure for secure sites, Certificate, is no longer relative to the web folder, but relative to the app folder. The folder will be moved automatically from "relative to web" to "relative to app".


So your certificates are being moved from app\web\certificates to \app\certificates when the app runs.
