Jupyter on EC2: SSL Error
Solution 1
This error means that the SSL certificate can't be found.
If you haven't yet created an SSL certificate:
Create one by typing the following into the command line (starting at your home directory):
$ mkdir certs
$ cd certs
$ sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout mycert.pem -out mycert.pem
(from these instructions)
Now that you have an SSL certificate:
You need to tell Jupyter where to find it.
Take a look at jupyter_notebook_config.py
if you have one (or generate one using jupyter notebook --generate-config
).
Make sure that you have the following line:
c.NotebookApp.certfile = u'/home/ubuntu/certs/mycert.pem' #location of your certificate file
(see the Jupyter Notebook docs)
and make sure that your self-signed SSL certificate is actually at that location. A common mistake is to mix up certs
with .certs
for example. A mistake like this will result in Jupyter not being able to find your SSL certificate and that'll result in the error that you're getting.
Solution 2
Try to add https:// to force web browser to use HTTPS-connection.
I got:
[W 08:25:56.148 NotebookApp] SSL Error on 9 ('<jupyter-server-ip>', 62862): [SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:590)
because Chrome tried to use HTTP connection. When using
https://<jupyter-server-ip>
it finally works :)
Solution 3
I found out that the permission issue is occurring because the mycert.pem file has only root permissions
drwxrwxr-x 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Mar 20 12:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Mar 20 12:09 ..
-rw------- 1 root root 2949 Mar 20 12:22 mycert.pem
I could not run jupyter notebook as root therefore i chowned the permissions
sudo chown ubuntu:ubuntu mycert.pem
this solved the issue

I'm trying to serve a Jupyter notebook from EC2 but I'm getting an SSL error. I'm using this AMI:
TensorFlow GPU - @nottombrown (ami-8ed4d0e4)
. I used a self-signed certificate and that might be part of the problem.I've looked at several other SO posts that have a similar error such as this, this and this, but they're getting the error in a quite different context and I can't figure out how to get the solutions (such as setting
verify=False
) to work for me.[E 15:52:44.954 NotebookApp] Exception in callback (<socket._socketobject object at 0x7f5f993dad00>, <function null_wrapper at 0x7f5f99319758>) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tornado/ioloop.py", line 883, in start handler_func(fd_obj, events) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tornado/stack_context.py", line 275, in null_wrapper return fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tornado/netutil.py", line 274, in accept_handler callback(connection, address) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tornado/tcpserver.py", line 239, in _handle_connection do_handshake_on_connect=False) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tornado/netutil.py", line 521, in ssl_wrap_socket return ssl.wrap_socket(socket, **dict(context, **kwargs)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 487, in wrap_socket ciphers=ciphers) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 241, in __init__ ciphers) SSLError: [Errno 336265225] _ssl.c:355: error:140B0009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file:PEM lib
