Hi Chrisokelly,

The error you are receiving is due to the reason that the SSL certificates for SOLR and the Repository got expired on 16th August2012, which should have been informed to you if you are an Enterprise customer. Please log in to your support portal to get the .bat/.sh file to generate new certificates.

Thanks,

Hi Guys,
Last night the certificate in our ssl.keystore expired…

Just pointing out I did notice the certificates expiring. I followed the CreateNewSSLCertificates.txt (or whatever it's called, my shell isn't right in front of me at the moment) file and got to this point.

Thanks very much for pointing out the forum post Mike, I didn't see that searching for error messages, suppose I should have been a tad more general in my searches. The script in the 4.0.e SOLR zip fixed this up perfectly.

I will point out that the script appeared to hang - I got in the logs two "Certificate Created" messages (for the .crt's) and three "Added to keystore" messages, then no more. After a few minutes I opened up the script with another session to see where it was hanging. As all the files had been created and copied to their appropriate locations I can only assume it had hung after the last block of cp commands and before the two echo messages. I Ctrl-C'ed the script, which brought up the two echoed messages and restarted alfresco (working fine now).

I couldn't see any reason for the script to hang, just pointing it out as interesting.
