Have you start the openca server ? It should be in PREFIX/init.d/openca ...

Cheers,

Hello,

Installing OpenCA on a Gentoo-Linux host ...
Installed are openca-tools (v1.3.0) and openca-base (1.2.0).

Got Apache running and deployed the htdocs and cgi-bin directories. As a test o tried to 
open https://<ip>/<base path>/ca/ and got:

------------------------ cut -----------------------
OpenCA Error: Server is not online or does not accept requests 
(/var/lib/openca/tmp/openca_socket -  /var/lib/openca/tmp/openca_socket        
                                                                   ). 0
------------------------ cut -----------------------

Ok - it seems that there should be service (the RA part ?) listening at this 
socket. What server (executable) should be started here ?


I take a look at the startup script from the rion Gentoo-Overlay. Here at start 
it executes simply

   /usr/bin/openca-setpasswd

Doing so i got the following output:

------------------------ cut -----------------------
   ERROR::Needed some input to compute digest!

         USAGE: openca-digest [-v] [-dgst sha1|md5|crypt] text-to-digest
------------------------ cut -----------------------

I think that i have to start the PKI-service on an other way.
Or - didn't i go far enough ?
What i miss here ?


Any ideas ?

Regards
   Petric
