mup setup with SSL shows no STUD or SSL

[ghost]

I had a different issue earlier (https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-up/issues/351), but it has evolved to this one. When running mup setup with SSL, I don't see any output regarding STUD or SSL:

• Installing Node.js ✔ Installing Node.js: SUCCESS
• Installing PhantomJS ✔ Installing PhantomJS: SUCCESS
• Setting up Environment ✔ Setting up Environment: SUCCESS
• Copying MongoDB configuration ✔ Copying MongoDB configuration: SUCCESS
• Installing MongoDB ✔ Installing MongoDB: SUCCESS
• Configuring upstart ✔ Configuring upstart: SUCCESS

There is supposed to be something, right? In my mup.json, I have

"ssl": { "pem": "./ssl.pem" }

I called mup setup and also mup deploy, but my site still has no https. I also installed force-ssl. The logs showed no errors. Any ideas?

I think, you need to update mup with npm i mup

Okay, I just did that and got the output below, then ran mup setup but still no output relating to STUD or SSL.

npm i mup mup@0.9.7 node_modules/mup ├── colors@0.6.2 ├── underscore@1.7.0 ├── async@0.9.0 ├── uuid@1.4.2 ├── nodemiral@0.3.11 (debug@0.7.4, ejs@0.8.8, handlebars@1.0.12) ├── cjson@0.3.0 (jsonlint@1.6.0) └── rimraf@2.3.2 (glob@4.5.3)

Can you post your mup.json (with credentials, passwords, etc. removed)?

[aadamsx]

I had his same problem. I just updated mup like @arunoda said above and things started working. It looks like @artitw close this... is it because after updating it worked?

[ghost]

@fongandrew below is my mup.json. When I install and run STUD manually (independent of mup), it works. Thanks very much for your kind help. @aadamsx thanks for calling that out -- I closed this issue unintentionally. Will re-open.

  "servers": [
    {
      "host": "cs.technology.com",
      "username": "root",
      "password": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    }

  },
  "deployCheckWaitTime": 30,
  "ssl": {
    "pem": "./ssl.pem"
  }
}

[aadamsx]

The ROOT_URL is 'http://...' instead of 'https://...' -- is that right?

[ghost]

Yes, it is http://...

[aadamsx]

Sorry, should it be 'https' instead of just 'http'?

Shouldn't it be:

"ROOT_URL": "https://cs.technology.com/",

[ghost]

I've tried both, giving the same results. From the documentation, I think it should be http://...

[aadamsx]

Look at this: https://forums.meteor.com/t/mup-and-ssl-configuration/2489 to see if anything I learned can help you.

[fongandrew]

FWIW, I use https in the ROOT_URL, which works for me (and makes sense given that it's SSL).

Anyhow, these might be silly questions, but some possible issues off the top of my head:

• Is your ssl.pem file in the same directory as your mup.json file?
• Is the ssl.pem file being properly copied over from your local machine to the server? That is, is the opt/stud/ssl.pem file on your server identical to the one sitting on your local machine?
• What else is on the machine you're deploying to? Is it a relatively bare machine (e.g. off of Digital Ocean or AWS) apart from what mup installs, or are there other web servers and whatnot running on it?

[fongandrew]

Another thought: The mup command is calling the binary for an older (globally installed) version, rather than an up-to-date (locally installed) version.

Try npm update -g mup and then doing mup setup again.

[aadamsx]

@artitw , why do you have a MAIL_URL reference? I'm using amazon mail services in my Meteor application and found I didn't need anything in the mup.json file for this... What am I missing?

[ghost]

@fongandrew thanks for your suggestions. I played around with both HTTP and HTTPS. I'l give it another try and update, since I now installed force-ssl and the mup documentation says it should be HTTPS with force-ssl. I also made sure the files were all in order and no other processes were running. I also updated mup as you suggested. Since I have gotten STUD to work independently of mup, I'll settle for now and see if I can figure it out in the future. Will update with anything I learn

@aadamsx I probably don't need the MAIL_URL there because I set it during Meteor startup anyway.

@arunoda You said in the previous issue that when you want to setup SSL, you just have to mup deploy but actually you have to do a mup setup before to install STUD on the server, had the same problem has @artitw but here is the fix.

[SachaG]

I'm running into the same issue. I added the ssl block to mup.json but there's no report of stud being installed in the mup setup logs, and no trace of stud on the server.

[SachaG]

Here's my mup.json btw: https://gist.github.com/SachaG/1890aa50000963892cb2

[wdhif]

@SachaG Did you update mup? Do npm i mup -g

[SachaG]

I did, same result.

[wdhif]

Maybe a problem with your pem bundle, can't help any further :)

[SachaG]

Would a problem with the pem bundle prevent stud from being installed? I assumed it would still be setup, or at least throw some kind of error?

[wdhif]

Yeah I guess so, what is the server operating system ?

[MasterJames]

I wondered if setting the ssl backendPort to 443 revealed anything interesting?

[SachaG]

I ended up using MupX, seems to be working so far. So it was probably a problem with the .pem file (MupX doesn't need one).
