Sparx Cloud Service does not create secure port

[AlexY]

I am setting up a secure http port with Sparx Cloud Service, but without success so far. On start-up the service writes following message into the log:
2014-05-10 20:19:53 [WARNING]: Unable to create secure server on port 443.

Also, should note that:
- netstat -a -b does not show any other process listening on 443 port - e.g. port 443 is available.
- the same Sparx Cloud Configuration but without SSL (REQUIRE_SSL=0) works fine
- I have created private certificate in server.pem file
- I run windows 7 in VMWare.

Any idea what can be wrong?

Check that your server.pem contains both a certificate and private key.

ie.
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
base 64 sequence
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
base 64 sequence
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Hi Simon,

I tried to put both certificate and the private key into one server.pem file as you suggested - it did not not help. The Cloud Service writes the same message into the log "Unable to create secure server on port 443."

Could you please:
(1) share a working server.pem?
(2) post the intructions / open ssl commands re how do you create the sever.pem from scratch?

Thanks a lot in advance !

To test creation I just went to http://www.selfsignedcertificate.com accepted the default value and hit generate.

Downloaded the two files and concatenated them together and put the result in server.pem. Started the service and verified that the server was running by typing https://localhost into my web browser.

The file that I used (but please don't use it directly) was:
