[IRC] Cannot connect to ZNC since the last few days

**proddy** · 22 Mar 2012, 3:49 AM

I use a ZNC configured with Miranda for IRC, and I use an SSL connection (OpenSSL 1.0.1) with it. For the past few days, I am not able to connect to it. I don't know if the update 0.9.44-->0.9.46-->0.9.47 caused the issue.

I can connect to the ZNC just fine through my browser. I haven't changed anything on the Miranda side (other than the updates), nor on the ZNC side. My version info is as follows:

Can anyone help? Please ask if you need more info. How do I see Miranda's error console (if there is one) which can show me the error message when the connection fails?

Thanks!

Miranda does not use OpenSSL. Not sure why you update it or keep it around.

Nothing changed in IRC for a very long time.

Please provide Networlk Log.

That's strange! I kept it around and updated it only for Miranda (for Google/Jabber and IRC SSL connections)!

I may have figured it out... the SSL certificate on the bouncer has expired almost exactly from when I am having issues connecting (although Miranda did not prompt me about this or anything). I will need to figure out how to import the new certificate...
