Cannot connect to site; error Invalid request%21

Hi,

I have just installed MainWP. Seems like a fab tool, except I cannot use it. Running the setup wizard I choose WebHost as I’m not running a local install. Then when trying to connect the first site I get “Invalid request%21”. When I later take a look in the status I see SSL Warning: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory.

I have looked through this forum but the solutions for same errors with other folk do not work for me. I even tried selecting a local Windows host and then entering the openssl.conf path from PHPInfo, but no dice. I am of course not running on a local Windows host, but a shared web host. The site I’m connecting to is on the main domain from which I’m running MainWP on a subdomain. So on the same host.

Hope someone can help.

Leon

Further information.

When looking through the error.log file I see this suspicious warning:

PHP Warning: openssl_pkey_get_details() expects parameter 1 to be resource, bool given in /subdomains/dashboard/wp-content/plugins/mainwp/class/class-mainwp-manage-sites-view.php on line 1608

Hi Leon, can you please check the solution from here: Can't connect a single site appears to be the same problem.

I don’t think it is the same. I did check the forum and look into this in great detail. In the end I looked into the database with MySQL to see what was stored for the openssl.conf path. The field in the database (in wp_options I think it was) is identical to the PHPInfo data.

When you check your localhost setup, can you please verify that the openssl.cnf acualy exists in the location?

It does not run on a localhost but on a shared Web server (just my ISP).

Can you please post the community system report from your MainWP Dashboard for review? The report is located in your Dashboard under Status → Server, on the top right of the page.

I see there is still problem with the OpenSSL library on the server.

Can you send me temporary login to your dashboard via private message so I can check this further?

Hmmm. Ok. In need to see how I do this without sacrificing security. I do trust you, but I’m not entirely sure I should do this as you will potentially have access to my full site.

If it would make you feel more comfortable, you can open a helpdesk ticket where we can continue
