unable to generate pve certificate

[blue]

HI,

I try to install proxmox on Debian Wheezy following the wiki http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Wheezy

The installation is complete but I don't understand why I can't generate the pve certificates

When I tried to generate the certifiicate I got the following message :

# pvecm updatecerts
unable to generate pve www key:
command 'openssl genrsa -out /etc/pve/pve-www.key 2048' failed: open3: exec of openssl genrsa -out /etc/pve/pve-www.key 2048 failed at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Tools.pm line 307

Here my conf :

You installed openssl? Check with

# dpkg -l openssl

 

[blue]

# dpkg -l openssl
+++-===============================-====================-====================-====================================================================
ri openssl 20140901-1 amd64 Package created with checkinstall 1.6.2


I also add it in the path

# which openssl
/usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl

You have a strange openssl package, you need openssl 1.0.1e-2+deb from debian repositories.

I change the openssl package and it works! Thanks!!

I get on the interface and it ask me login but I never configure any password during the installation.
Is there anyway to reset the password?

When I try to log with my PAM account I got error 401 : /etc/pve/authkey.pub doesn't exist

You can use the normal PAM root account.

The following command should fix that issue:

# pvecm updatecerts

 

[blue]

# pvecm updatecerts
# ls /etc/pve
local nodes openvz priv pve-root-ca.pem pve-www.key qemu-server save vzdump.cron

I still can't connect to Prxmox

Should I reinstall??

 

[dietmar]

# pvecm updatecerts --force

 

[blue]

Still no public key

# ls /etc/pve/
local nodes openvz priv pve-root-ca.pem pve-www.key qemu-server save vzdump.cron
# rm -f /etc/pve/pve-root-ca.pem /etc/pve/pve-www.key
# ls /etc/pve/
local nodes openvz priv qemu-server save vzdump.cron
# pvecm updatecerts --force
# ls /etc/pve/
local nodes openvz priv pve-root-ca.pem pve-www.key qemu-server save vzdump.cron


Can't I generate it with openssl??

 

[dietmar]

# rm /etc/pve/priv/authkey.key
# pvecm updatecerts --force

 

[blue]

It works !
Thanks for your support
