I tried generating the files for the SSL cert, but the program gave the following error on each attempt.
I've tried running it in both PM folders. When I run it in the /roaming/pm5 folder I get this ...

If I run it in the Briggs Softworks/PM5 I get a message "Error running OpenSSL batch file".
SSLCert.exe error

Re: SSLCert.exe error
Just create a temporary folder off of the root (e.g., C:\temp\) and run it in there.

Re: SSLCert.exe error
Also, you can get a free SSL cert from Cloudflare (even on their free accounts) and protect yourself from hackers in the process. See this thread for more info:

Re: SSLCert.exe error
Solved.
I had to go grab OpenSSL, put an environment variable in Windows server, create the OpenSSL.cfg file, then run the SSLCert.exe.

Re: SSLCert.exe error
The errors seem to be related to file access rights. You're logged into Windows as Administrator, right? Are you still running those anti-virus utilities?Tuck Fheman wrote:I still get error opening OpenSSL batch file. Sorry man, no clue what's going on and why I'm having so many issues.

I looked into the access rights and I didn't see an issue, but that doesn't mean anything since this is my first VPS setup.Kent Briggs wrote:The errors seem to be related to file access rights.

To be sure that was not the issue, I did go back and reinstall everything under the original account setup.
We'll see how it goes. Tonight I may go ahead and nuke the accounts and have everyone recreate, they said it's not a big deal. There's one guy who showed a screenshot where the site said his account email did not exist, yet I can clearly see the account. He created a new one wit a diff email. So something is definitely wrong with the current Account db, but I have a two big games today and dont want to have everyone have to recreate accounts right before the tourneys.
That all said, I haven't seen an issue in several days. Overall though, sites running great, everyone loves it, it's starting to come into place.
Great piece of software man! I'm so glad I found your site, I'd been looking for over a month for this exact thing and just using the wrong keywords I guess. I started over at Bluff Ave and we setup the PokerStars homegames, but they limit to 50 players so we needed a better solution and Poker Mavens fits us perfect! I've been wanting to do this for 10+ years after hosting home games. I got tired of cleaning up and the problems that arise from strangers knowing where a game is.

Re: SSLCert.exe error
If all else fails you might need to nuke Windows completely and re-image the drive (after backing everything up of course). Run Windows Update right away and leave the firewall on but don't install any third-party security programs.Tuck Fheman wrote:To be sure that was not the issue, I did go back and reinstall everything under the original account setup.
And Google won't allow any paid advertising for anything gambling or poker related (even "play money" poker software) so I rely completely on the organic results and word of mouth. Just searching for "poker software" I currently land on page 4. You have to get more specific like "client server poker software" to see me on the first page.I'd been looking for over a month for this exact thing and just using the wrong keywords I guess.

I started searching for stuff like "host own poker tournaments online" "custom poker leagues" "host custom poker league/tourney" and various forms of that.Kent Briggs wrote:If all else fails you might need to nuke Windows completely and re-image the drive (after backing everything up of course).

With those searches I did come across some others like PokerTH, DDpoker but they just couldn't handle what we needed to do, but never saw Poker Mavens. I even started searching "programs like PokerTH or DDpoker".
I don't remember what I used to finally find your site though, but I think it did include "client" after realizing there was nothing else web based out there we could use.
