Could not load key file

#1 Post by teh dave » 2010-02-17 06:07

Hi,

I am having a bit of trouble with the SSL support in FileZilla Server. I have recently renewed a certificate, and the new certificate works fine with other services running on the system but not with FZS. I have tried to tell FZS to use the new .cer file, but when I do it says "Could not load key file" when I try to hit OK on the settings. If I edit the settings file manually, FZS says the same message in the log instead.

I'm pretty sure the key file is valid, so my question is under what circumstances does FZS report this error? Obviously if the key file is corrupt, but could anything else cause FZS to report this?

Thanks.

Is the cert in the right format for FZ Server to use it? FZ Server requires PEM format.

Hey boco, thanks for the help, 'preciate it :)

It's in the same format as the original was, that I know. And that one works. They are Base64 encoded DER (ie. bunch of ASCII characers between begin/end certificate).
