I use getssl to install a Lets Encrypt SSL certificate. Below is the output of ./getssl -a:

Check all certificates
hostname.com: Certificate on remote domain does not match, ignoring remote certificate
Registering account
Verify each domain
Verifying hostname.com
copying challenge token to /var/www/html/.well-known/acme-challenge/iWNVnBM81u5xITptieCF7J7sh70GhsDeSOLwAdY0bN0
Pending
getssl: hostname.com:Verify error:Could not connect to hostname.com

Of course hostname.com is my own name. I can reach the URL from external networks:

http://hostname.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/iWNVnBM81u5xITptieCF7J7sh70GhsDeSOLwAdY0bN0

This returns the right value. Below the ACL line in my getssl.cfg:

ACL=('/var/www/html/.well-known/acme-challenge')

Why does getssl give me a connection error? I run the same tool on other servers where this works fine.

I've a Postfix / Dovecot server. It's running without issues. However, one specific account is facing issues continuesly.

Summarize of issues: - Webmail hangs (simple PHP opensource webmail) - can't add my account to most mobile clients (Outlook app on iPhone, MyMail etc) - Server connection issues on Outlook for PC and alot of strange errors (can't move items, directories etc)

I think, the reason is the size (18GB) of the mailbox. However, the server CPU and RAM looks okay.

My question: Is a Maildir of 18GB too large for IMAP? Or can I solve this with more server specifications or another software / tricks?

I like to add widgets to my Shinken dashboard. I got a warning:

You didn't define a WebUI module for saving user preferences like the MongoDB one. You won't be able to use this page!

So I installed the mongodb module:

shinken install mod-mongodb

And added the mongodb module to my webui.cfg. After a restart of Shinken, I got the same notification.

cat /etc/shinken/modules/mongodb.cfg:

## Module:      Mongodb
## Loaded by:   Arbiter, WebUI
# In Arbiter: Read objects in a mongodb database (like hosts or services).
# In WebUI: Save/read user preferences.
define module {
    module_name     mongodb
    module_type     mongodb
    uri             mongodb://localhost/?safe=false
    database        shinken
    #username        username     ;optional
    #password        password     ;optional

    #replica_set                  ;Advanced option if you are running a cluster environnement
}

Of course Mongodb is running and accessible from localhost (without creds).

Shinken version: 2.4.3

Is the mod-mongodb module still working on Shinken 2? I couldn't find an alternative module. Latest commit c023a12 on 5 Jun 2015 https://github.com/shinken-monitoring/mod-mongodb

Anyone experience with Shinken + Webui + Mongo?

I'm using Laravel in a serverblock and I'd like to create an alias, for example /webmail. This results in an nginx "Primary script unknown" error. I think I need to change my fastcgi_param. Can anyone help me?

Below is the important part about my Nginx serverblock.

server {

    listen       80 default_server;
    server_name  _;

    set $root_path '/var/www/html/public';
    root $root_path;

    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;

    location @rewrite {
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?_url=/$1;
    }

    location ~ \.php {

        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index /index.php;

        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

        fastcgi_split_path_info       ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO       $fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }

    location /webmail {
        root /var/www/;
    }
}

So my webmail application is located in /var/www/webmail.

Webmail works when I change the SCRIPT_FILENAME to:

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www$fastcgi_script_name;

However, the root domain doesn't work anymore after this change. I can't place the line above in the location section.
