Web socket error on https

Rody6 years ago

Hello,

First of all i want to say that i love the Traccar software.

I used the manual from Geek to redirect to https. This works fine but now i have the problem that every tracker i use only once a minute updates, even if i set the update on the tracker at 10 seconds. When i get a update of the tracker it always gives a Web socker error.
When i log on the "old" method that runs on port 80 i get a update every ten seconds like it should withoud a error.
I searched the forum for Similar topics but none of the topics can solve the problem for me.

I can't find were the problem is so i can't solve it.

Who can point me in the right direction so i can solve the problem?

I'm assuming you are using HTTPS proxy. If that's the case, most likely the problem is that you haven't configured websocket proxying.

Correct, the system runs on Windows server 2012 with IIS and i use HTTPS proxy.
I set a inbound/outbound rule as said in the manual. Is that what you mean?

I'm not sure what manual you are referring to, but you have to make sure that WebSocket connections are also proxied correctly.

Ah...i see i made a typo. I used the manual in the link from Freek :)

Do you have a hint or something how the make such a rule for the websockets?

I don't use Windows, so unfortunately I won't be able to help with that. Comments on tutorial also mention that WebSocket doesn't work, so I'm assuming some plugin is missing.

Ah, no problem. I'll try google again :)
If it won't work at all i'll install a Linux version to try if can get it to work.

Thanks

Anton,

It took me for ages to get the software running on https on Windows and it still did not work like i wanted.
It took me a evening to install Ubuntu and then Traccar with SSL and NO web socket error :)
I can understand why you don't use Windows....i won't use it either ;)

Thanks for your help.
