Hello Everybody, I freshly installed Libretime 4.2.0 from installer on Ubuntu 20.04, everything seems to work well exept for connecting to streams main and show via external client, (butt)

**Describe the problem**  
As I try to connect with  
host name : [libretime.mysite.org](http://libretime.mysite.org)  
Port : 8002 or 8001  
Mount : main or show  
user: source  
Password : passwd

I use butt as a client, it can’t manage to connect ☹

I ran the test of the trobleshooting doc and i get this :

> ./test-stream-input.py --port 8001 --mount main --user source --password passwd  
> [tcp @ 0x55bdc60c96c0] Connection to tcp://localhost:8001 failed: Connection timed out

or sometimes

> [tcp @ 0x55bdc60c96c0] Connection to tcp://localhost:8001 failed: Connection refused

In /var/log/libretime/liquidsoap i get this :

> [harbor:2] Failed to accept new client: SSL: Certificate error: error:0200100D:system library:fopen:Permission denied

Any clue how I could resolve this ?  
Thnaks in advance 🙂

Well i just lef the “secure” parametter of liquisoap to “false” in `/etc/libretime/config.xml` and everything seems to work fine

```auto
      # > default is false
      secure: false

```

And whene true is activate it justs crashs with this error `[harbor:2] Failed to accept new client: SSL: Certificate error: error:0200100D:system library:fopen:Permission denied`

Has anyone been able to resolve this? I am experiencing the same issue as well. I am testing my LibreTime installation before going live and this issue is keeping me back. Restarting Libretime and Icecast works but only for a short time.
