Issue with Moodle 1.9.5+ and Certificate Module

I just upgraded to Moodle 1.9.5+ today and everything seems to work with the certificate module except I get the error:

 

I get that error when click "Get your certificate" or "Review your certificate".

I have it set to force the download of the certificate and email a copy of it.

The emailed copy comes just fine.

Update...I just found out that I only get this error in Firefox, using IE 7 it works without a problem. I did not get this error in Firefox when I was using Moodle 1.9.4+

Try this view.php file. If you still get the error, please give some more info on your server setup.

Chardelle,

The problem seems to have fixed its self, looks like it was a cache issue with my browser or something.

I just tried it again with my Firefox browser and had no problems.

Thanks!

I'm having the same issue on a Server 2008 machine running Moodle 1.9.5+ (20090826) on IIS.  This error appears when I click on any of the links under Networking.  I've attached my php info output.

I'm new to PHP and Moodle and wasn't sure where to put the view.php file to test it out.

Thanks,
Anthony

I'm getting same issue..

When browsing to any settings in Site Administration > Networking section I get this error:
New public key has been generated. It expires 1970/01/01 12:00:00

Has anybody got a solution to this?

That posted thread does not appear to apply to running Moodle under IIS. I'm still needing help with this issue myself, currently.

Thanks!

I discovered what is needed with Moodle 1.9.6+ and IIS to get rid of the Networking / Settings error 'New public key' generated when trying to turn Networking on for mahara integration.

(Hopefully I have enough keywords nearby in there to help people find this easier than we did. heh)

Make sure you've upgraded to the latest version. You can see in the source code for the SSL implementation that there's new code in there to check for a moodle config variable. Yet this variable is not mentioned in config.dist yet.

Note that this is only pertinent to Windows installations.

$CFG->opensslcnf = 'C:\path\to\openssl.cnf';

which is probably:

'C:\php\extras\openssl\openssl.cnf';

This should probably be added with a comment to the config.dist file.
