I recently performed an OS re-install on my home system which I try to do at least 3 times a year. Once done, I started setting everything back up including SABnzbd and NZBDrone. In the past when using NZBDrone, I’ve always had issues getting SSL to work correctly. I’ve tried many things over the past hour and still can’t get it to work. Below’s my setup, what I’ve tried, and results…
My Setup
Using purchased 3rd party SSL cert
Windows 8.1 Update 1 x64 (Fully Patched) - Not on domain - Local admin rights Note: Had the same exact issue in Win 7 x64
SABnzbd (Newest Release) using SSL on port 9090
NZBDrone (2.0.0.2064) via HTTP on port 8989 (Installed as Service)
Currently, everything works fine, but still want NZBDrone on SSL
How I First Tried to Install SSL
Following the guide here, I performed the below steps:
Started with my certificate in CRT format + key initially created
Yes - it was for the local computer as in after choosing the “Certificates” plug-in in MMC, I chose “Local Computer.”
Again, I had the same issue in my previous OS build which was Win7 x64. I’ve had it working in Win 7 x64 before, but can’t get it to go now and don’t remember how I got it to work!
Do you (or anyone else) have any more ideas? Thanks!
You’re right - I over thought the troubleshooting. Just came here to post the fix which was a phantom character from when I copy/pasted it from MMC.
Last night when trying different things, I was looking in the log and also noticed that “?”. When running the command in a prompt as is, I got the error - but - when I ran it without the “?” it worked. Even though I verified the .ini (which is plain test) didn’t have it, I opened NZBDrone, disabled SSL, restarted, enabled SSL, deleted everything, then manually entered the hash without spaces. After shutting it down and starting as admin, it worked just fine - WEIRD.
Surely something could be changed in code to fix this - anyways - Thanks for everyone’s help. It’s always the easy things that work!
