Unreal worked fine before, but now it doesn't starts, log in ircd.log is:

[Tue Jan 11 15:13:38 2005] - Failed to load SSL private key server.key.pem
[Tue Jan 11 15:14:08 2005] - Failed to load SSL private key server.key.pem

File server.key.pem exist, but has zero bytes size.

I tried to reinstall server, but it has no effect.

Sorry that my english is not so good.

The best thing that I can suggest is to recreate the certificate. Rerun the installer making sure that the "create new certificate" option is enabled. (As a precaution, delete all the stuff related to the old cert.) Hopefully that should work.

What I'm really interested in is how this can occur in the first place... (But I see that codemastr is online now, so maybe I'm about to find that out.)

There should be a batch file in the Unreal directory called something like makecert.bat, just run it and it will make a certificate for you.
