Hello

I am attempting to install zotonic for first time. but it does not seem to start properly.

Can anyone help please?

Here is my current setup

I downloaded zotonic from here https://github.com/zotonic/zotonic/archive/0.52.0.zip

then followed the instructions from here http://docs.zotonic.com/en/latest/developer-guide/getting-started.html to build and start zotonic

but I am getting

$ curl -kI https://localhost:8443

Here is the build and run setup.

Hi,

Looks like the ipv6 listener can’t start.

=SUPERVISOR REPORT==== 24-Nov-2019::18:36:42.045104 ===
    supervisor: {local,zotonic_sup}
    errorContext: start_error
    reason: eprotonosupport
    offender: [{pid,undefined},
               {id,webmachine_mochiweb_v6},
               {mfargs,
                   {webmachine_mochiweb,start,
                       [webmachine_mochiweb_v6,
                        [{port,8000},
                         {ip,any6},
                         {dispatcher,z_sites_dispatcher},
                         {dispatch_list,[]},
                         {backlog,500},
                         {acceptor_pool_size,75}]]}},
               {restart_type,permanent},
               {shutdown,5000},
               {child_type,worker}]

We check if ipv6 is available and if it is we start the listener.

This is in zotonic_sup.erl:

ipv6_supported() ->
case (catch inet:getaddr("localhost", inet6)) of
{ok, _Addr} -> true;
{error, _} -> false
end.

Apparently the system pretend there is ip6 but doesn’t really support it.

You can disable starting the ipv6 listener by providing a specific listener port instead of ‘any’ in the zotonic.config

Replace this

%%% IP address on which Zotonic will listen for HTTP requests.
%%% Always overridden by the ZOTONIC_IP environment variable.
%%% Use 'any' for all IP addresses.
{listen_ip, any},

With this:

%%% IP address on which Zotonic will listen for HTTP requests.
%%% Always overridden by the ZOTONIC_IP environment variable.
%%% Use 'any' for all IP addresses.
{listen_ip, {0,0,0,0}},

If this fixes the problem then we can look into a better ipv6 detection method.

One of the methods I am thinking of is by actually opening the port before proceeding.

Cheers, Marc

Hi Marc

where do I find the zotonic.config file?

I searched and there is nowhere bellow the zotonic directory.

I found only one copy under docker/zotonic.config but the file has different content and I am not using docker.

Hi Nikolas,

Try:

~/.zotonic/0/zotonic.config

It should have been installed there by the bin/zotonic script.

Cheers, Marc

Hi,

Do you also see some messages on the Erlang command line?

Did you try to connect with http to :8000 and see if there is a redirect to https :8443?

If so then Zotonic is listening and responding.

If there are errors on the erlang command line and you are on OTP21, then you might need to get a patched OTP install.

I just saw someone referring to TLS handshake errors on OTP 21.3.

That problem was fixed in 21.3.8.5

Cheers, Marc

HI Marc

thank you for your patience.

http on port 8000 is indeed working, no redirect though to https.

I get the Powered by zotonic message.

https on port 8443 gives following error on browser

Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to 10.2.3.14:8443. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP

on the erlang console I see the following

=INFO REPORT==== 27-Nov-2019::21:33:18.797164 ===
TLS server: In state hello at tls_handshake.erl:134 generated SERVER ALERT: Fatal - Handshake Failure - malformed_handshake_data

from the console I got

> erlang:system_info(otp_release).

"21"

I also found a pdf version of the instructions for 0.52 release
