Hello,
I followed step by step tuto to add SSL support, but everytime I try to reload server I have this message:

Starting webserver: Error loading RSA private key (-0x2E00): PK - Read/write of file failed
error!

I checked in Hiawatha .pem file path it's: /etc/hiawatha/serverkey.pem like in tuto (https://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/howto/bindings)

and .pem file is chmod 400, I also tried chmod 700

I created the file with copy / paste of the how to..; So I don't know what to do now to make it work


Hiawatha version: 9.4
Operating System: Ubuntu TLE 12.04

Does the .pem file contain the private key? Hiawatha requires both private key and the certificate to be present in the same file.

I've got my own certificate with CA ect...

Because it didn't work, I tried this:

openssl genrsa -out serverkey.pem 2048
openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key serverkey.pem -out server.crt
echo "" >> serverkey.pem
cat server.crt >> serverkey.pem
echo "" >> serverkey.pem
rm -f server.crt

for testing purpose... but still not working... quite strange because it's from official HOW TO...

I fixed the problem,

I just had an error in my hiawatha config file:

SSLcertFile = SSLcertFile = /etc/hiawatha/serverkey.pem

changed to:

SSLcertFile = /etc/hiawatha/serverkey.pem
