*******************************************
Error message when opening the WAPT Console
*******************************************

Version check
=============

.. image:: wapt-resources/wapt_console_version-error_dialog-box.png
  :align: center
  :alt: Window showing that the WAPT Console version is out of date

The WAPT Console version is not the same as the version of the WAPT Server.
Upgrading the WAPT Console to the same version of the WAPT Server is the recommanded course of action.

Connection refused
==================

The WAPT Console can not contact the WAPT Server on port 443:

* Check whether the :program:`Nginx` web service is running on the WAPT Server.

.. code-block:: bash

  systemctl status nginx

* If :program:`Nginx` is not running, restart the :program:`Nginx` service.

.. code-block:: bash

  systemctl restart nginx

* If :program:`Nginx` still does not start, you will need to analyze the journal logs in:

  * :file:`/var/log/nginx/` on Linux;

  * :file:`C:\\Program Files (x86)\\wapt\\waptserver\\nginx\\logs` on Windows.

Service unavailable
===================

It is possible that the WAPT Server service is stopped:

* Check whether :program:`waptserver` is running.

.. code-block:: bash

  systemctl status waptserver

* If the command returns an error, then start the :program:`waptserver`.

.. code-block:: bash

  systemctl start waptserver

Error connecting with SSL ... verify failed
===========================================

The WAPT Console seems not to be able to verify the WAPT Server's HTTPS certificate.

.. attention::

  Before doing anything, be sure that your are not facing a :abbr:`MITM (Man in the Middle)` attack!

.. note::

  If you have just rebuilt your WAPT Server and that you use a self-signed certificate, you can recover the old keys of your old WAPT Server in :file:`/opt/wapt/waptserver/apache/ssl`.

* Close your WAPT Console.

* Delete the folder :file:`%appdata%\\..\\Local\\waptconsole`.

* Launch the command :code:`wapt-get enable-check-certificate`.

* Be sure that the previous command has gone well.

* Restart the WAPT service with :code:`net stop waptservice && net start waptservice`.

* Restart the WAPT Console.

In case you do not use the certificate pinning method, this tells you that the certificate sent by the WAPT Server can not be verified with the python :program:`certifi` bundle of certificates.
Be sure to have the full chain of certificates on the WAPT Server.

I can't do anything in the WAPT Console, everything is greyed
=============================================================

The WAPT Console seems locked, you can not execute any action, everything is greyed.

If you are connected with another user than the *Superadmin*, the ACL rules applied to your profile may not be set properly.

To fix this, close the WAPT Console and open it with the *Superadmin* account.
Then, go to :menuselection:`Tools --> Manage Wapt users and rights`.
Here, you will see the user in the list, give the user the appropriate permissions, then save and close the WAPT Console.
Re-open the WAPT Console using your login.

.. _msg_error_package:

Error message about package on the WAPT Console

Error when uploading package
============================

  Window showing that the uploaded package has signer certificate issue

The WAPT Console shows this error : :code:`Error when uploading package : EWaptForbidden('Host matching package UUID_HOST does not trusted signer certificate)`.

You have this error when you try to upload a WAPT package but the used certificate which signed package is not present in your computer's ssl WAPT install location folder.
Be reminded, if you have a WAPT Server running on Windows to **not lauch the WAPT Console on the server**.
Add the WAPT certificate which signed the package in your computer's ssl WAPT install location folder then retry.

Error locale
============

  Window showing that the WAPT Console does not find a package

The WAPT Console shows this error in two situations.

Package does not exist in the repository anymore, yet a host needs it
---------------------------------------------------------------------

There are two possible solutions:

* Try to get package anew from Tranquil IT's store.

* Delete the package from the host dependencies.

When you try to install a package with a locale that is unknown to the host
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are two possible solutions:

* Download the WAPT package having the matching locale from Tranquil IT's store.

* Edit your WAPT package and set in the :file:`control` file the option :code:`locale` with the correct locale (:code:`locale=en,fr`).
