gmail is down....

I wonder what it takes to bring such enormous service down.

Alex

Has there been an update to what authors of closed questions see since this:

Q: New Post Notices are live network-wide

For further issues, bugs and feedback that have not been covered by existing answers here please feel free to ask a new question. A few minutes ago, new Post Notices were launched across the Stack Exchange network. This includes all public sites, all meta sites, and all Basic and Business tier T...

Because it doesn't seem to be accurate.

Specifically, it says that post authors can see the users who closed the question, but I see that that is not the case on my closed questions.

Sonic the Curiouser Hedgehog

@Alex It used to be the case at the time the new notices had just rolled out. That post was historically locked before the system was changed to not show them, so it couldn't be updated.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@Alex yeah it changed a bit, it's hidden in the question page itself, but visible in revisions page and timeline.

Alex

Is the new update mentioned somewhere?

I.e. is there a post that describes the current way that it works?

A: How could we improve our planned post notice improvements?

status-completed Update: We've changed the post notices for question askers so that they do not see the usernames of close voters listed - this includes askers with the close/reopen vote privilege. We considered making it so that post owners with sufficient rep could still see the list, but deci...

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard Thank you.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

yw

Alex

It also answers my follow up question of why being a post author overrides being someone with voting privileges.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@Alex oh, nice. :)

Alex

Would have been even nicer if I liked the answer.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

lol well can't have it all. ;)

Alex

6:37 AM

This is true.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

Reminds me of my 4 y/o daughter, who used to eat a cake (that she liked) then ask for more. When told she can't have another one she said something like "but I don't want to eat the cake I had before".

Classic "can't eat the cake and leave it whole".

Alex

She sounds like a smart one.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@Alex rascal, more accurate. ;)

Usually she's getting what she wants, this way or another.

Alex

Even better.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

e.g. with that cake? She started crying for hour or so, eventually got it.

She's also the only one of the kids (we have two more, older than her) who got to sleep in our (parents) bed.

Alex

6:44 AM

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

The other two simply never thought it's an option.

@Alex yeah, asked few questions there already. :D

Alex

@Alex Is there a parallel site for children to ask how to deal with parents?

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@Alex actually..... such cases exist in there already.

Parenting or IPS.

Alex

Interesting. Perhaps I shall check it out.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@Alex yeah, there are fine people there. I reduced activity after mini clash with mods about a question being off topic, but looking back it was silly.

Alex

6:46 AM

Though I suppose the majority of the population that would ask such questions can't have an account.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

If I'll have a good question to ask, will still ask there.

@Alex true, but teenagers can and did it, might search for example when having some time.

@JourneymanGeek @rene I need some help.... I renewed SSL couple of months ago, on server with both node.js (listening on port 443) and IIS (port 8080). The one in node.js works fine and SSL is active and valid, but the IIS doesn't recognize it and showing it's expired. Any tips?

Thanks!

Journeyman Geek

something smells off

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

(any others are welcome, just pinging couple of heavy guns ;))

Journeyman Geek

Both on the same system/windows?

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@JourneymanGeek same machine, yes. Windows Server 2012 I think, can check if you want.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard are they picking up the certs from the same place?

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

8:45 AM

@JourneymanGeek nope. Don't think so. For the node.js I made .pem files manually and IIS... oh wait.

Journeyman Geek

;)

Quack

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

Last time I imported it via the IIS at some point so it recognized it.

Journeyman Geek

could you try importing it again?

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

Now when I got the new cert, I used different method to create the .pem files.

@JourneymanGeek should I import from scratch, or choose "renew"?

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard Not that familiar with how you do it with IIS

I mostly do linux so...

I'd try renewing first

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

8:57 AM

Trying

hmm.... I didn't do anything, but turns out I did when installing for node.js after all and forgot. (it was two months ago and in a crazy rush as they forgot to ask to renew in time)

Journeyman Geek

So fixed? ;D

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

What I see as off is the old having www. in front, and new doesn't have. @Journeyman can it be the reason why it's not working?

@JourneymanGeek no... :(

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard yes

unless its a wildcard cert

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

schoolsport.co.il:8080 - try and see

Journeyman Geek

hm

So, this is what's happening

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

9:05 AM

@JourneymanGeek it might be. What does it mean exactly?

You want the CSR?

Journeyman Geek

your system sees "schoolsport.co.il" and uses the cert that refers to that

No wait

that's wierd

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

I know it's weird, hence coming to experts. ;)

Journeyman Geek

So its still picking up the old cert

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@JourneymanGeek exactly

So maybe I have to remove it?

Journeyman Geek

is there something like vhosts for IIS?

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

9:07 AM

@JourneymanGeek no idea.. lol. What's that?

I'm neither IIS nor SSL expert, most I do is stuff like that, and it's always getting complex somehow.

Journeyman Geek

digicert.com/kb/ssl-support/ssl-host-headers-iis-8.htm

skip the first part about generating the cert

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@JourneymanGeek hmm... OK. Thanks!

Journeyman Geek

I THINK you would have a different error if you got it working - since the cert is for the foo.bar, not www.foo.bar

but essentially you're still using the old cert

Meta Andrew T.

I think it's okay, since the Subject Alternative Name also includes both

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@JourneymanGeek what to put in the "Host name"? There isn't really any sub domain.

oh no

I'm so dumb.

going away in shame never to return

crying in some dark corner of the universe

Selected the correct cert, all working now.

Thanks @Journeyman you helped a lot. :-)

I did almost everything right, but was in a rush so never double checked the basics.

@MetaAndrewT. yup

Meta Andrew T.

9:18 AM

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard wow, that was fast. My experience with replacing cert is that it will take some times to propagate, but probably because we're delegating it to the hosting provider

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@MetaAndrewT. well it's all in place already, e.g. the cert is active, just on different port on the server.

Journeyman Geek

9:53 AM

@MetaAndrewT. he did everything but... point the server at the right cert

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard I hope you took notes :D

Rob

10:05 AM

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard It can be blank if you only have one site, if you're sharing an IP address then each server gets named: ssl.com/how-to/binding-in-iis-10 woshub.com/… serverfault.com/questions/359760/…

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

10:46 AM

@JourneymanGeek hehe, of course! :P

@Rob yeah, thanks. Actually two sites on the server, but not under IIS. The part on the IIS is only for some legacy software that's still in use, and using old Web Services.

Journeyman Geek

that's why I asked about vhosts

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

:)

Journeyman Geek

11:15 AM

The fundamentals are the seame, the set up methods very different ;)

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard I suggest you stick to one cert name in future (and document it)

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

12:55 PM

@JourneymanGeek OK, thanks!

Journeyman Geek

1:36 PM

(also I'm really sure you have good reasons for using geotrust but - lets encrypt tends to have really nice automatic renewals (since they have shorter cert validity) on most platforms. That + ssl-config.mozilla.org (no IIS there though) is my goto for most of my SSL needs

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

1:46 PM

@JourneymanGeek not my decision, client's host decision. I just install what they send.

Journeyman Geek

Which is fine :D

Meta Andrew T.

@JourneymanGeek that ssl-config is h'ing awesome, why haven't I heard of that until now :O

Journeyman Geek

@MetaAndrewT. :d

Cause no one asked me about ssl :D

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@MetaAndrewT. you didn't ask!
