Internal error 1060 - missing CommonName

Server
,
1

Hi! I had OwnCloud working well, but needed to reinstall. This time I chose to use an unsigned certificate for SSL/HTTPS access, simply clicking the appropriate checkbbox in the admin page through my browser. Calendars sync well and web access through a browser is also working through https. However, i get the following error when starting the OwnCloud sync program on my client box:

]an internal error number 1060 happened server certificate was missing commonname attribute in subject name

restarting apache on the server gives this:

Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
httpd (pid2080) already rung\ning

From advice on this post, II tried viewing the SSL certificate by entering:

openssl x509 -noout -text -in ssl.crt

but was informed:

Error opening Certificate ssl.crt
3074087176:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:bss_file.c:398:fopen('ssl.crt','r')
3074087176:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE:CTRLsystem lib:bss_file.c:400:
unable to load certificate

The above link suggested generating a new "snake oil certificate" :smiley: but I'm a bit nervous about doing that, having it fail, and me having to reinstall all over again. The only other advice I found was rather generic at this this post about eliminating SSL errors...and that seems even riskier.

I could revert to using simple http as before, perhaps that is not so bad since I'm blocking all unknown MAC addresses and live in a rather quiet suburban (almost rural!) neighborhood....but if I can, I'd like to use SSL.

So -- any advice? My commandline knowledge is rudimentary at best, so please keep instructions clear and step-by-step. Or, if perhaps the advice given on one of the two websites linked to (above) seems fairly safe, do let me know that and I'll give it a shot.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

please move this topic into the following category: https://central.owncloud.org/c/help/miscellaneous as this is not related to ownCloud itself but more about a correct SSL configuration of your Webserver.

If you don't get an answer here you might also do a search on your own on the net. I think such SSL configuration issues are wide spread and you might get some additional infos by users having the same issue on your used webserver.

Oh, i know to do my homework before posting. :wink: I went to copy this to tthe "miscellaneous" section but it looks like it's already moved there -- ??

Anyway, still needing an answer, thanks.
