Re: [EP-tech] Enable SSL on new server

Hi James,

Exactly which "EPrints pages" are you referring?  I have just clicking on the link on the homepage (both on HTTP and HTTPS) to take me to https://datacat.liverpool.ac.uk/view and it looks to be working fine in FireFox and Chrome (latest versions for Windows 10).  Have you managed to fix things?  If not, my best guess is your browser is caching and giving you the 404 error page.

Regards

David Newman

Hi,

I'm in the very final stages of a server rebuild/upgrade (and I can't wait to hand it back to the owners). Got an eprints repository for our data sets up and running. I am really struggling with getting SSL to work. I've followed the instructions available through the EPrints pages, but it just isn't working.

At the moment if I click on a https link (https://datacat.liverpool.ac.uk/view) I get:
"404 page not found on this server".

In Chrome it does indicate that there is a valid certificate. It's the same security certificate as on the previous server, but all the server details are the same. Plus I'd expect to be told there is a problem with the certificate if they weren't working.

Going to the https of the homepage I receive the default apache index page:

https://datacat.liverpool.ac.uk/

Clicking on links, they automatically take me to https, but it 404s.

Any advice for what I've missed? I'm in developer mode for now, but I am being careful to restart apache and regenerate static pages after making changes. It's eprints 3.4, apache and Ubuntu 20.

Thanks,
James
