The first instance created at installation will have logs into /var/log/rhpki-ca/ Buf if you add other instances, only the install log will be in this same location, and the newer log files will be under /var/lib/rhpki<instance-id>/logs/ So, I always search under /var/lib/rhpki<instance-id>/ first. For you problem, try to see if a process is listening on the port (9443), and then try to browse using the ip address bound to this port. Also look for events in the catalina.out log file.

Hello everybody: Firstly, is this the primary Email-list for Dogtag/Red Hat Certificate System ? Naturally, I've looked through all the archives, found here, for an answer: https://www.redhat.com/archives/pki-users/ We're using the DOGTAG CMS system found here: http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PKI_Main_Page We'd like to create a 'portable' CMS on a laptop running, say, Fedora release 8 (Werewolf). We'll then use this machine at different client sites where the machine's DNS name and IP address will change to issue certificates. Is this possible ? Firstly, I know that the console has the directory server's DNS name within the schema itself. My work-around is to leave an alias in /etc/hosts with the old hostname. I expect the following URLs to cause an 'exception' in the Browser because hostname in DN does NOT equal hostname for the machine: https://dogtag.org:9443/ca/agent/ca/ https://dogtag.org:10443/kra/agent/kra/ https://dogtag.org:12889/ I reckon this can be over-ridden by simply accepting the 'exception' when presented with the warning dialogue-box in Mozilla. Q1. Any other considerations or obstacles ?
