Warp - Error Saying Identity PEM is missing Key

help
1

Hey guys, I'm trying to set up an HTTPS server, but it doesn't want to load. I feel like I've tried everything, but nothing seems to work. this is really important so thanks for looking at my question :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
Any help is welcome!

So, when I set my code up like below, I get this error:

Identity PEM is missing a private key such as RSA, ECC or PKCS8

My code:

    let routes = warp::any().map(|| "Hello, World!");
    let cert_path = "/etc/letsencrypt/live/merivilla.com/fullchain.pem";
    let key_path = "/home/ubuntu/new_certs/pkcs8.key";

    warp::serve(routes)
        .tls()
        .cert(cert_path)
        .key(key_path)
        .run(([0, 0, 0, 0], 443))
        .await;

I then tried:

    warp::serve(routes)
        .tls()
        .cert_path(cert_path)
        .key_path(key_path)
        .run(([0, 0, 0, 0], 443))
        .await;

and no error appeared, but when I went to look at my website using https, it stalled and it never said hello world.

To confirm that I can actually access my server, I did:

    warp::serve(routes)
        .run(([0, 0, 0, 0], 80))
        .await;

and I could see hello world when I used http .

Originally, when I asked this question on stackoverflow, I just used the original key that certbot gave me. However, becaue of the error, someone recommended I type the command below to change my key to pkcs8 format:

openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform PEM -nocrypt -in privkey.pem -out /home/ubuntu/new_certs/pkcs8.key

This resulted in the same error showing up.

I then tried to read the cert and private key into memory and pass it into .cert() and .key():

        let routes = warp::any().map(|| "Hello, World!");

    // Load SSL keys and certs
        let cert_path = "/etc/letsencrypt/live/merivilla.com/fullchain.pem";
        let key_path = "/home/ubuntu/new_certs/pkcs8.key";

    // Read the cert and private key file into memory
        let cert_contents = std::fs::read(cert_path).expect("failed to read cert file");
        let key_contents = std::fs::read(key_path).expect("Failed to read private key file");



    warp::serve(routes)
        .tls()
        .cert(cert_contents)
        .key(key_contents)
        .run(([0, 0, 0, 0], 443))
        .await;

and no runtime error, but the website would not load when I did https . Nor http of course.

I'm using Warp version 0.3.7

Answer: the correct way to start my server was:

warp::serve(routes)
.tls()
.cert_path(cert_path)
.key_path(key_path)
.run(([0, 0, 0, 0], 443))
.await;

And, the issue was not the private key. The original private key that letsencrypt certbot gave me worked.
The issue: my code was not even receiving the request for me to handle it.
The issue: I had to go to my server and set up ingress/egress for https.
