Just did a fresh install using the easy install, having issues providing certificates for the webcit and citadel ssl authentication.

First, I deleted the /usr/local/webcit/keys directory and linked it to /usr/local/citadel/keys.

Then, I took an existing [domainname].all.pem file generated by ACME and used openssl to pull out the .cer, .csr, and .key files and copied them to the /usr/local/citadel/keys directory.

I restarted the server, but when I went to login again the certificate still reads as the "Certificate for *" with all the default values filled in.

I followed the directions at https://citadel.org/how_to_install_a_certificate_signed_by_a_recognized_certificate_authority.html

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

For clarification, I'm running Debian 10.10 headless on a Raspberry pi 4, apologies for not being more clear

So, the default certificate that Citadel issues is set to an unsupported encryption method - too small of a key. I am hazy on the exact details now - but I had a lot of problems until I figured that out and set the encryption key higher than the default - then all the problems went away. I may be shooting wildly in the dark here. I'm having trouble recalling exactly what the problems were.

Hello Everyone!

I have installed Citadel on my RPI 3+ with the latest 32-bit RPI OS using the easy install method. It worked well, except that all uploaded files became corrupt.

I compared an uploaded PDF with the original and it wasn't all gibberish, but there seemed to be extra data for some reason. I am booting off of an SSD, but have had the same problem using an SD card. I thought the SSL certificates might be the problem, but creating new ones didn't help.

I am going to try a different OS and see what happens.

If anyone knows off the top of their head why this might be happening, please let me know!

Thank you,

Permissions on your /citadel/files directory. Try it - you don't have access. 

Chown it and uploads will start working.

Hey all, 

I'm using Citadel on Debian, and I'm running into a slight issue. Uploading attachments is fine and dandy, linking images is fine and dandy, but you can't upload for use inline.

Any ideas on where to start looking? I've tried digging thru stuff for TinyMCE but I think I just am misunderstanding where I should even be looking.

Thanks in advance!

Before, I had a similar situation due to pop-up blocks.

In webcit, using copy-paste works for me.

The Citadel logo works to.

Ah. So there's no specific Upload to use inline functionality?   The copy/paste part works, but I'm trying to see if it will just attach an image and you can use it as part of your message, or not.
Thanks, though. Didn't know copy-paste worked until you brought it up.

In first message I use Firefox/webcit.

But it works in Thunderbird too.

same issue

Fri Mar 26 2021 18:07:36 EDT from gronkdalonka Subject: 500 No such user on AUTH LOGIN

I noticed with the latest easy-install version of citadel sending mails via some clients (Fairemail) is not possible because smtp's AUTH LOGIN throws a "500 No such user" error when submitting an existing user name.
AUTH PLAIN is working fine.

So i guess smtp LOGIN is broken.

Can this be fixed or LOGIN removed from available AUTH methods?
Or is just something wrong with my setup?

 

We got the same issue:

auth login + crlf

encodedUsername

500 no such user

But login this way will be ok:

auth login + encodedUsername

encodedPwd

BTW, "AUTH LOGIN" works fine on version 917, so this may be a specific issue of version 931.

Have you done an update from Easy Install any time since June 5? That is the date the issue was fixed.

If your update is newer than that, we will reopen this issue; otherwise please upgrade.

We installed CITADEL of Easy Install in mid-Aug with "curl https://easyinstall.citadel.org/install | bash", and we will reinstall in a few days, just in case.

Hello, im Stuck configuring the Smarthost the right way.

I have a

username: user@example.com

passwort: passwrd

a smtp server: example.smtp.com

a port: 25 or 587

I found this on the website:

[smtp[s]://][username:password@]host[:port]

smtp://user@example.com:passwrd@example.smtp.com:587 does not work.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for you help!

Tank you very much, that worked!

So, thank you to everyone that helped with my previous little misunderstanding about how things worked with the text editor incorporated into Citadel.

Now, I have a more.. serious issue. I was trying to change the login image, and it got corrupted on upload, which has now apparently borked the snot out of the login screen.

.....help?  I'm trying to figure where it's saved and/or at least looking where I can make revertible changes to make it not try to serve said file, but I'm...not having luck.

Thanks!
