How Do I Generate A Certificate For Mail.mydomain.com
Sep 6, 2007
After successfully installing postfix+dovecot on Debian, I've run into a problem using Thunderbird email client on my home pc to receive email. I get: "Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch"
How, then, do to I generate a certificate for mail.mydomain.com?
Before installing postfix+dovecot, I created an MX record for mail.mydomain.com, and an A record for mail.mydomain.com. Should I have also added mail.mydomain.com to /etc/hosts?
When setting up Thunderbird, I told it my Pop Server was mail.mydomain.com. When I attempted to Get Mail, then I got "Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch".
How to be able to fix my problem that is related to the https using apache2 (enabling https in apache2) at opensuse:
By the way, my opensuse version is:
openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64) VERSION = 12.1 CODENAME = Asparagus
1) At the /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost-ssl.conf, and if I do not have a name (as the server will be accessed using its IP address), can I place in the ServerName 192.168.0.5? Do I have to place it 192.168.0.5:443 or it is enough to be 192.168.0.5?
2) Is there a relation between the SSLCipherSuite values and the used method to generate the certificate?
3) I am afraid from the way that I am using to generate the certificate and the ssl module that is coming with apache2 at my machine which has opensuse. How can I select the right way?
Actually I used following commands to generate the .crt, .key and the .csr:
4) Do I have to configure the virualhost? Do I have to create files under the directory /etc/apache2/vhosts.d? Because I will have one application to be browsed .. nothing more.
I have just setup a .org website and when I point a browser to it, it only seems to load if I leave the www out in front of the name. Why would this be? What did I forget? The domain name is bsa272.org if that helps anybody.
I’ve read the documentations of (PBAS, Plesk, and Securing Websites).how to add SSL Certificate to our Webmail? In addition, I need to know, how to request CSR key and install SSL for our mail server in order for us to protect our emails and to use the SSL Protocol in mail softwares such as Outlook? I will explain the scenario in details:
1- We have (www.example.com) which is our "Plesk Server hostname" and a subscription in our "Plesk Server". 2- We have (pbas.example.com) which is our "PBAS Server hostname" and it's not a subscription in our "Plesk Server". 3- We have (account.example.com) which is a "Subscription" in our "Plesk Server".
Here are the DNS records of our domain and subdomains: Host-Type-Data -A-192.168.1.30 www-A-192.168.1.30 mail-A-192.168.1.30 pbas-A-192.168.1.31 account-A-192.168.1.32 -MX-example.com.
how to generate CSR key for each domain/subdomain and how to install the SSL for it? Our "Plesk" is 11.5 and installed on CentOS 6.4.
I know they're just self signed certs on the postfix mail servers used in PPA, but how can I renew them, customer was cautious about it once they saw it had expired.
I have found this: [URL] .... and was wondering is this the correct procedure to update the SSL cert?
Whenever I have had a server with WHM/cPanel I have always been able to raise WHM by browsing to www.mydomain.com/whm - however on my latest server this doesn't work, I can only get to WHM by browsing to my IP:2086
The server has been up and running for 6 days and www.mydomain.com has been working almost from the beginning.
dnsreport shows that reverse dns exists for hostname.mydomain.com
I am at a loss to know why I cannot raise WHM by www.mydomain.com/whm
I just sign up godaddy email account premium plan, what i get is 100email accounts and 2gb of total. I also purchased a domain name.
My questions:
1. I think 2gb for 100 email accounts are too small for me, is there anyway to upgrade to bigger storage? or i have to purchase web hosting so that my email storage will get bigger?
2. I try to follow all the instructions provided by godaddy for the microsoft outlook setting of email. I cannot successful receive email, the problem is from the incoming mail server. Godaddy website asked us to fill in with mail.(Domainname).com, so i fill in with the domain name which i just purchased and it doesn't work, just keep pop out and ask me to put in username and password.
my nameserver are messed up ns1.32view.com works but ns2.32view.com doesnt everything seems to be done rite they both have their own ip both ips work correctly setup at godaddy aswell anyone got any ideas?
I am simply wanting to map on mydomain.com to anotherdomain.com. So i setup a CNAME on mydomain.com. Once propagated mydomain is not being picked up and is defaulting to the cpanel successfully installed screen.
I have tried this on another of our servers and this does work.
So my question is: can you use a CNAME to map mydomain.com to anotherdomain.com without having to add the mydomain.com to the apache VirtualHost ServerAlias?
It does seem like you can as i have this working on one server - is there an apache setting somewhere to block this?
The hostname (server.mydomain.com) resolves to . It should resolve to 209.40.xxx.xxx. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain.
Some are all of these problems can be caused by /etc/resolv.conf being setup incorrectly. Please check this file if you believe everything else is correct.
You may be able to automaticly correct this problem by using the ' Add an A entry for your hostname ' under ' Dns Functions ' in your Web Host Manager
Is there a way to prevent accessing the website using the domain.com/~username/
Currently on most (all?) cpanel hosting plans it's possible to access the site via [rl].
Maybe there is something to prevent that as it could cause very serious duplicate content issues.
Moreover, I think it's a global bug that affects millions of hosting accounts. Yahoo, for example, many times indexes wrong URLs because of that... In many situations, if I knew your cpanel username, I could link to it instead of your domain to remove your site from search engines..
I have a blog (hindigo.net) registered and hosted through mydomain.com (Standard Windows Package). For the past days, it has been unaccessible most of the time (either keeps trying to load without success, or loads a blank page).
When accessing the site structure through FTP, all files are fine, and I can access the control panel without any problem.
I tried to get some info on possible server updates from the support, but their answers are not very informative:
- either a server update;
- or the site is working fine (it was indeed yesterday late, as I am in Asian time zone);
- or they ask to put DNS to NSx.MYDOMAIN.COM, while the hosting solution automatically puts NSx.MYDOMAINWEBHOST.COM
Am I the only one facing issues this past days with MyDomain.com, or is this general?
I am in the process of switching to another provider (Infomaniak.ch) anyway, but if this is a personal situation only (e.g. site attack?)
I setup my cron job run daily and it automatically sends email to root@server.mydomain.com after it done. How do i setup forward email from root@server.mydomain.com to my gmail or other external email provider ? That means every time if root@server.mydomain.com receive email than my other maail will get that email too.
When deploying new server/servergroup/cluster to your IT infrastructure, deployment (simplified) consist of following steps:
OS installation: to do it over network, boot server must be configured for this new server/servergroup/cluster,
configuration/package management: configuration server has to be aware of the newcomer(s),
monitoring and alerting: monitoring software must be reconfigured,
performance metrics: a tool for collecting data must be reconfigured.
There are many excellent software solutions for those particular jobs, say configuration management (Puppet, Chef, cfengine, bcfg2), monitoring hosts and services (Nagios, Zabbix, OpenNMS, Zenoss, etc) and performance metrics (Ganglia, etc). But each of these tools has to be configured independently or at least configuration has to be generated. What tools do you use to achieve this?
For example, when you have to deploy a new server, how do you create configs for, let's say, PXE boot server, Puppet, Nagios and Ganglia, at once?
I am configuring a bind reverse DNS zone to use the $GENERATE statement. This works well. But If I add a single IP record after or before the $GENERATE statement I get 2 PTR records for that IP (which is expected I guess).
Does anyone know if it's possible to report only 1 PTR record for a single IP (host) record?
One of my servers stop generating server logs, ftp logs etc all of a sudden since yesterday. It is a windows IIS 6 server, anyone have any idea on how to repair?
Is there any command to generate it? The httpd.include is there but httpd.conf is not picking it up. Suppose there is a "middle" man to connect the vhosts httpd.include and httpd.conf
