hi, i am new to citidel...i am trying to use the easy-install on a CentOS7 server.  at some point in the process, i get this:

crypto.o: In function `bind_to_key_and_certificate':
/tmp/citadel-build.8827/webcit/crypto.c:39: undefined reference to `TLS_server_method'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake: *** [webcit] Error 1
 Citadel Easy Install is aborting.

 Linux RedHat 7.9.2009(Core 3.10.0-1160.49.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64)

can some one give me a hand with this, not sure where to go from here..

thanks in advance...  here is a longer log paste

So I just got my server installed with the easyinstaller, and I want to know if its possible to change the server storage location or do I have to reinstall the whole process.  If I run the setup command with the -hHome option will it just move the data storage location or will it do a new install and map to that location?

Geez. Ok, I've just pushed an update to Easy Install to fix this, so you should be able to try again.

TLS_server_method() is supposed to be the replacement for SSLv23_server_method() but apparently CentOS 7 still has the old name and not the new one. They both do the same thing. Try it now.

hey, that did it....i was able to install and get into the gui...i did see some warnings in the install like this:

vcard_edit.c: In function 'parse_vcard':
vcard_edit.c:424:6: warning: variable 'is_b64' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
  int is_b64 = 0;
      ^

but since the install was successful...i guess i can ignore?

thanks again!

sorry for such a noob question, but i have looked at the faq and documentation...i don't see any mention of upgrades...so how do i do it?

thanks

Ok so starting back up on trying to get a reverse proxy running here so i can everything on port 80 ( and 443 ), and just use DNS names to redirect internally.

For the most part its all setup again and was going down the list of apps to change over to 80. Got to citadel and i did a easy install/upgrade ( needed it anyway ) and switched it native from 8080 to 80.   Works fine locally, or if change my router to not use the proxy and just redirect 8080 to 80. But if i hit it from the via proxy i get the below mess instead.  ( and this worked last time i tried, but script kiddies were pounding my ports and killing the proxy )

Something obvious i'm missing before i waste a lot of time beating my head against the desk?

ya, i know, url is in the image, i dont care now, its public. . and no, not tackled ssl yet. I wanted to get everything running "regular" first.  

Tinyproxy, configured to be a reverse proxy only.  Stock config other than disabling forward proxy, adding the redirects, and adding a few extra threads. My other 3 apps, plus a extra 'test' one that was just listing the calling URL, are working at this point.

It worked last time i tried this, other than script kiddies flooding my port 80 and causing the proxy to die after about 10 minutes so i gave up at the time.   But it was a good year or 2 ago, so an older version of citadel. 

Syslog has this when it works correctly.:

it forwards external name to internal IP.   Retains the same port.

However it may be moot, tinyproxy is crashing again after too many sessions. Bumped up resources and ti runs about 3 hours then poof it dies. I'm thinking i'm going to read up on ngnix, set that up and see if it can handle the flood better.

I'm more interested in what conditions are configured to cause an HTTP connection to be forwarded to WebCit. Are you doing it by name, by path, by port, something else...?

Hello all,

I just stumbled upon this tool and love what it appears to do, so I thought I would give it a shot!

I spun up a new Ubuntu VPS, ran all my updates and upgrades, then ran the Easy Install!

I went through all the setup steps and selected '*' to listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces. When Citadel started I was not able to access it. I checked my netstat and all of the cit services are ONLY listening on IPv6. I know this server has an IPv4 interface, as that is the address I am using to SSH to it. Any ideas why it would only be using IPv6?

It does appear to be listening on all interfaces...hmm...

Found it. It was UFW. That is usually disabled on Ubuntu installs by default.

I allowed 80 and 443 through the firewall and we are all good! Thanks!

For what its worth, i switched to using Apache as the reverse proxy, things are ok now. 

Tried to use Pound after Tinyproxy, and while i think it woudl work ( and is small, etc ) but it does a https redirect on every call, and it seems you cant turn it off.   Sure, that might be the 'best' way these days, and one should never do anything that isn't SSL, but until i have certs on everything that breaks me.

So I quickly followed the directions in the docs in regards to the docker install (which there are no -p docs for it seems?) and I have the server up and running, but logging into it interactively and trying to run setup results in an error that 'setup could not connect to a running citadel server.: No such file or directory citadel-admin.socket'.  How does one 'setup' the docker container install?

sorry if  I missed the docs on this somewhere!
