B4J Question [CLOSED] VPS or KeyStore : SocketException: Permission denied

[lemonisdead]

Hello,
I am calling to Linux experts, please. I have setup a new VPS and am facing a problem I never experienced. It is OpenVZ based, perhaps the reason for my problem ?

Each time I had started the B4J server, I have got a "permission denied" error.

Spoiler: Error log

I have reduced the project to its maximum minimum

'Non-UI application (console / server application)

 Public srvr As Server
 Public portNonSSL As Int = 8080
 Public portSSL As Int = 443
 Public sslconf As SslConfiguration
 Public sslAvailable As Boolean
 Public keyPassword As String = myPassword
End Sub
Sub AppStart (Args() As String)
 srvr.Initialize("srvr")
 srvr.Port=portNonSSL
 sslAvailable=ConfigurerSSL
 
 srvr.AddHandler("/hello","konnektor",False)
 
 If sslAvailable Then
  'add filter to redirect all traffic from http to https (optional)
  srvr.AddFilter("/*", "HttpsFilter", False)
 End If
 srvr.Start
 StartMessageLoop
End Sub
'Return true to allow the default exceptions handler to handle the uncaught exception.
Sub Application_Error (Error As Exception, StackTrace As String) As Boolean
 Return True
End Sub
Sub ConfigurerSSL As Boolean
 If File.Exists("/home/alc/","jetty.keystore") Then
  sslconf.Initialize
  sslconf.SetKeyStorePath("/home/alc","jetty.keystore")
  sslconf.KeyManagerPassword=keyPassword
  sslconf.KeyStorePassword=keyPassword
  srvr.SetSslConfiguration(sslconf,portSSL)
  Return True
 Else
  Return False
 End If
End Sub

HttpsFilter

'Return True to allow the request to proceed.
Public Sub Filter(req As ServletRequest, resp As ServletResponse) As Boolean
 If req.Secure Then
  Return True
 Else
  resp.SendRedirect(req.FullRequestURI.Replace("http:", "https:") _
       .Replace(Main.srvr.Port, Main.srvr.SslPort))
  Return False
 End If
End Sub

konnektor

Sub Handle(req As ServletRequest, resp As ServletResponse)
  resp.Write(DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now))
End Sub

If I move the jetty.keystore file, the server can be accessed and doesn't generate any error. So, I guess it could be a problem with the keystore file.

Any idea ?

Many thanks


Edit: when I use another SSL port (not the usual one), the app doesn't crash anymore but the HttpsFilter doesn't work

Edit 1 : seems to be a problem with OpenVZ because the same code (and configuration) work on KVM without a problem
I will cancel the OpenVZ VPS, that's all
