Configuration issue with writefreely

ERROR: 2022/03/02 12:40:56 app.go:511: Unable to start: listen tcp 208.x.x.214:443: bind: address already in use

and also the first time around an SSL request is too long, error.

there may be a few things going on here, but would love some help getting this sorted out.

fqdn will be @ hopefullyread.com :slight_smile: looking forward to getting a community started where people can blog and enjoy that.

thank you so much :smiley:

It looks like port 443 is being used by another program on your machine. Since that’s the SSL port, I’d guess it’s another web server that’s running?

multi domain box -

using vhost file with all the domains in it. :slight_smile: apache2 is listening on 80 and 443.

ok its running! i had to copy the certs manually. working for at least 3 months, ha ha… re letsencrypt…

//

ok so now how do i turn on the public reader option, and change the editor to include a subject line??

so excited! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

then i rebooted the box, tried to start the server with ./writefreely start

and got this:

which is weird, because i didnt install it as a service…

ok so i moved it off the dedicated server, onto the vps instead… it’s now got a different IP, and is turning on OK, the ssl cert is valid, however i get that PR_ … error (see below writefreely’s run output.)

(upon trying to visit the actual website…) from firefox, or seamonkey, I get:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to hopefullyread.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

and as such, there’s nothing there when I load the domain… confused! :slight_smile:

ok we’re live @ read-read.net and hopefullyread.com now.

reverse proxy solved it. thanks @matt for the assistance ! and beautiful software. it’s really wonderful.

how do I get the subject line configurated though?
