HTTPS gives a blank empty page

[Viktor Lindgren]

I use the 1.4.5, released recently

I followed https://github.com/haiwen/seafile/wiki/Enable-Https-on-Seafile-web

but all i get is a blank, empty page, when visiting https://host:8082

Also, i would like to know if i can force to use http in the config.

I would like to thank to all your great work you put in to this project!

When you see a blank page, means your seafile httpserver is working. Httpserver is a file server for seafile, you don't need to visit https://host:8082 directly, when httpserver is up, you can download/upload files in libraries. 

Also, i would like to know if i can force to use http in the config.

Seafile use http by default, you can also set https=false in httpserver section in seafile-data/seafile.conf to disable https.

Hi

I thought i would see the exact same page as on port 8000, so that when i login with my email and password it would be sent encrypted.

"Also, i would like to know if i can force to use http in the config."

I meat of course https, that is encrypted. Sorry.

[Viktor Lindgren]

I think i understand now, setting https=true does not mean both seahub and seafile use https.

I must combine that with the nginx server.

I'm confused by this as well. I'm getting a white page too. How do you get the web server to do https? Does this require some separate setup on the Apache or Nginx web server?

First i did change in ~/haiwen/seafile-data/seafile.conf to

[httpserver]

port=8082

https=true

pemfile=/pathto/haiwen/ssl/cacert.pem

privkey=/pathto/haiwen/ssl/privkey.pem

The keys mentions above was generate by openssl.

Then i setup apache to serve the actual page using https by doing this

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>

    Listen 12345

<VirtualHost *:12345>

   ServerName seafile.example.com

   DocumentRoot /pathto/haiwen/seafile-server-1.4.5/seahub

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/seafile.error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,

        # alert, emerg.

        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/seafile.access.log combined

        ServerSignature On

      SSLEngine on

      SSLCertificateFile    /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem

      SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

  Alias /media  /pathto/haiwen/seafile-server-1.4.5/seahub/media

  RewriteEngine On

  RewriteRule ^/(media.*)$ /$1 [QSA,L,PT]

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

  RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /seahub.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L,E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}] # HTTP_AUTHORIZATION is used in API authorization

  FastCGIExternalServer /pathto/haiwen/seafile-server-1.4.5/seahub/seahub.fcgi -host 127.0.0.1:8000

</VirtualHost>

</IfModule>

For this i needed fastcgi module.

apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi

a2enmod fastcgi

Your configuration seems correct, can you visit https://seafile.example.com ?

Seafile httpserver handles file upload/download for  seahub. Seahub is a web front end for seafile.

In order to enable https for seahub, you need config apache/nginx to enable https. When you've set up seahub with https correctly, you will be able to visit https://seafile.example.com except that downloading/uploading file on seahub is still in http,  so you need to change seafile.conf to enable https for httpserver (as you did).

[Viktor Lindgren]

Yes, my works.

It was a answer to distillvide...@gmail.com how i solved it inorder to help.

Thank you very much for the sample code and quick response. I'm going to try the setup and see if I meet with success. Much appreciated. 

[distillvide...@gmail.com]

Thanks for writing back and adding some clarification here. I think the disconnect is realizing that https for Seahub (on Apache or Nginx) is separate from https for httpserver. 

Can we generate a similar example configuration for Nginx? I think it would be very useful for newbies and prototypers. 

Many thanks! From what I've seen so far this is a wonderful piece of software.
