Re: [monit] Can't use monit shell if ssl is enabled in httpd

[Brad Gessler]

Hi Jan,

I did some more intense digging in the docs only to find out I was sniffing in the wrong place. HTTPS wasn't the problem; rather, I had all of my passwords encrypted in the htpasswd file so command line monit couldn't find a password in monitrc to authenticate against the running monit.

I wrote up a blog post about it to give the problem some more Google juice at http://blog.bradgessler.com/rails-on-monit

"monit status" does work here with ssl enabled (monit version 4.10.1
in Debian stable)
Are you sure you'sre root (or at least have enough permissions) and
monit has the right permissions?

Greetings,
