Re: can not load file...


-----Original Message-----

I just wonder ... why replace an *enterprise* Linux distribution with
Ubuntu?

My experience with Ubuntu is that odd things happens there.  And if
you want to have something in a production environment, an enterprise
Linux distro will most likely give you less headache in the long run -
but the "cost" is that you're not having the same bleeding edge as the
non-enterprise distros may provide.  But you're trading long term
stability for bleeding edge.

- From the strace you provided, I cannot understand why this shouldn't
work at all.  It's not any security mechanism blocking it (like Unix
file attributes, AppArmor/SELinux, chrooting, etc, etc).  2647 bytes
are read into memory.  And I would presume the size of your
certificate file is 2647 bytes.

The only thing which could be wrong is that you've somehow replaced
the file name for the certificate and key files.  But if you just
copied all the files over to your new box and tried to start it; It
Should Just Work(tm)

So, if the file names are correct ... then my bet is that it's OpenSSL
being cranky on Ubuntu ... for some unknown reasons.

If you want a free alternative to SLES, I have very good experiences
with ScientificLinux.  And if you're willing to pay, you also have RHEL.

kind regards,

Hi David,

Found the snag.
In the certificate file there was a empty line at the end.

It seems that polarssl is expecting another certificate, but obviously it won't find one.
The polarssl's error message could have been more verbose, or the routine checking for additional
certificates slightly more robust.

I got beyond the reading, hope that all works now ;-)
