Dear all,

I installed 3CX using our own certificate/hostname.
This works well without issues.

When I am starting a web-meeting and when I try to invite others to this webmeeting, 3CX tells me, that the meetingserver cannot connect to https://myhostname.3cx.eu:5001/myphone
Firewall settings are correct, inbound traffic on port 5001 is allowed and works. It seems, that it does not work because the hostname is different from the certificate. Our "real" hostname is my.hostname.at whereas webmeeting is using myhostname.3cx.eu (and the certificate is for my.hostname.at)

What can I do? Can i tell 3CX somehow to use my.hostname.at for this instead?

BR, Christian
 
Hello @ckatterl

Please note that when using your own FQDN a webmeeting FQDN is generated by 3CX using the naming convention in the following link:
https://www.3cx.com/docs/fqdn-management-allocation/
Does your webmeeting FQDN follow these rules? Can you let me know if the correct webmeeting FQDN is stated on the dashboard of the management console?
 
Hi,

from what i can see, the webmeeting-FQDN does not follow the rules, for whatever reason....

My PBX FQDN is communicate.mycompany.at
From what i understand, the webmeeting FQDN should then be communicate-mycompany-at.3cx.net, but in my case, it's communicatemycompany.3cx.net

I cannot remember, that i ever had to choose the webmeeting FQDN?

Hello again,

i could fix the issue by reinstalling 3CX and releasing the FQDN before in the customer-portal.
Now, the FQDN is built according to the rules and everything is working.

BR, Christian
 
Glad the issue is resolved and thank you for sharing your solution.
