ZeroSiteX not showing any sites. Is it expected?

[SetoKaiba]

Step 1: Please describe your environment

• ZeroNet version: ZeroNetX 0.8.2
• Operating system: Win10
• Web browser: Chrome 109.0.5414.10 dev
• Tor status: not available
• Opened port: yes
• Special configuration: ____

Step 2: Describe the problem:

ZeroSiteX not showing any sites. Is it expected?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open ZeroSiteX

Observed Results:

• What happened? This could be a screenshot, a description, log output (you can send log/debug.log file to hello@zeronet.io if necessary), etc.
• ZeroSiteX not showing any sites.

Expected Results:

• What did you expect to happen?
• ZeroSiteX should show site list?

[slrslr]

Your description lack enough detail. I would like to see a screenshot and the content of the log file which should be in your zeronet/logs or zeronet/log folder.

[canewsin]

Could you provide screenshot of the issue? I mean where it's not showing sites, on Dashboard?

[SetoKaiba]

No site list here I mean.

[slrslr]

@SetoKaiba

No site list here I mean.

and the log file i have mentioned? You can also mouse drag & drop the top-right corner button down to open the log to copy entries you can see. Ideally all to see what is going on. You have restarted Zeronet too i expect to see if issue continue.

Some errors/warnings inside it @canewsin :

[SetoKaiba]

@slrslr But it's strange. I found the command line here.

It failed because the openssl.exe is not run correctly I think. But I can run the command manually. What's the problem? And I still get the generating key error even I generate them manually in command line.

[SetoKaiba]

Absolutely, there's something wrong with ZeroNetX. I tried ZeroNet. It can generate the RSA keys although it can't connect to the trackers.

[canewsin]

No site list here I mean.

Seems like site sync issue, delete site and reopen.

[SetoKaiba]

@canewsin Not working with deleting site and reopen. EDIT: It works now after I sync the site again.

What about the problem of RSA keys generation? I found that the openssl is replaced with a new one.

The command line returns

Generating a RSA private key
Error Generating Key

But when I run the command manually. It returns

Generating a RSA private key
..+++++
........................................................+++++
writing new private key to 'C:/Users/61304/Downloads/ZeroNet-win/data/cakey-rsa.pem'
-----

There must be something different with them.

[SetoKaiba]

If I replace the openssl folder from the original ZeroNet. It does generate the rsa keys correctly. So, there must be something wrong with the new openssl with Python shell running.

[canewsin]

@SetoKaiba previous one has security vulnerability thus updated to new one.

[SetoKaiba]

So, can you reproduce the bug that the command line return lines below?

Generating a RSA private key
Error Generating Key

But there's no problem with the manual command and the old one. So I don't know what's the problem.

[canewsin]

seems like this affect new installs only I was using binary, but syncing is ok on my side, I will investigate issue further.

[SetoKaiba]

OK. Thanks.

[canewsin]

from your context, binary can produce keys right ?

[SetoKaiba]

What do you mean by binary? I can run the command line in cmd.exe with working folder of core. And it sucessfully generate the keys. But the python call the command, but it doesn't generate the keys. The lines below is the replaced openssl.exe stdout.

Generating a RSA private key
Error Generating Key

[canewsin]

binary I refer is calling openssl.exe via cmd manually

[SetoKaiba]

binary I refer is calling openssl.exe via cmd manually

OK. Yes. It did generates the keys this way.

[SetoKaiba]

What about use the openssl from Git for windows? I test it without the problems. The keys are sucessfully generated.

[defder-su]

Perform "Check files" in zite context menu.

[SetoKaiba]

@canewsin I created a PR here. I finally find out the problem. Some required env var is missing if only specify the 3 env var here. With these changes, the openssl cmd run correctly. https://github.com/ZeroNetX/ZeroNet/pull/202

[SetoKaiba]

@defder-su I successfully open the zite already. But the openssl is still a problem. So I create a PR here.
