SSL Not working

[maartenvw]

When connecting to the dashboard over https it works perfectly fine, but when I click on connect. I don't get connected and the console reports the following WebSocket connection to 'wss://socket.myapp.com:6001/app/my_key?protocol=7&client=js&version=4.3.1&flash=false' failed: WebSocket opening handshake timed out
My SSL configuration:

'ssl' => [
        /*
         * Path to local certificate file on filesystem. It must be a PEM encoded file which
         * contains your certificate and private key. It can optionally contain the
         * certificate chain of issuers. The private key also may be contained
         * in a separate file specified by local_pk.
         */
        'local_cert' => 'PATH_TO/cert.pem',

        /*
         * Path to local private key file on filesystem in case of separate files for
         * certificate (local_cert) and private key.
         */
        'local_pk' => 'PATH_TO/private.pem',

        /*
         * Passphrase for your local_cert file.
         */
        'passphrase' => null,
    ],

I am running this on a Vultr instance with PHP 7.2.10 and NGINX.

How can I resolve this issue?

Hi @maartenvw
You just have to edit de app.php file in config directory Just find next lines
'local_pk' => 'PATH_TO/private.pem',

And.. chage it for:
'local_pk' => 'PATH_TO/private.key',
'verify_peer' => false,

Hi all,

It wasn't an issue with the configuration the issue was that we use Cloudflare to manage our DNS and we had de orange cloud turned on so it was trying to connect to Cloudflare and not out server since cloudflare doesn't support (to my knowledge, correct me if i'm wrong) specifying ports.

So the issue is resolved by using another none orange cloud subdomain as a pointer to the websocket server.

Thanks for the help!

@maartenvw they do support it however not over port 6001 (80/443 should work fine) probably.
