Attention! This learning course lists all host, server names, e-mail, IP- addresses and similar information as an example. It is necessary to use your own data during installation of Virtual Appliance.

Attention! If the default (password-protected) SSL-sertificate in BitrixVA or in BitrixEnv is modified, it causes problems in the wizards and server re-launch operation. Password input will be requested continuously. To avoid such problems, password should be deleted from the certificate: 
/path/to/openssl rsa -in /path/to/originalkeywithpass.key -out /path/to/newkeywithnopass.key

Important


  • You can found information about legacy Bitrix Virtual Appliance versions here:

  • All host names, e-mail, server addresses and other similar information listed in this course is provided for purposes of an example. Please use your own custom details when configuring a virtual appliance.

  • Environment details provided in the screenshots can differ from those depicted on the current version. This can happen if settings hadn't changed.

  • In case VMBitrix or BitrixEnv SSL certificate is changed to a custom certificate from the default one, it will lead to the wizard performance issue and service reload. The system will request password input continuously. To avoid such problems, delete password from the certificate: 
    /path/to/openssl rsa -in /path/to/originalkeywithpass.key -out /path/to/newkeywithnopass.key
