N8N SSL Fix - Issue Resolution Complete

✅ Issue Resolution Complete

Problem: "ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" when clicking edit button - trying to access HTTPS N8N service without SSL

Solution: Modified openN8NExternal() function to always use HTTP protocol for N8N service

Status: Fixed and deployed to both HTTP and HTTPS locations

🐛 Original Problem

The N8N automation platform was generating SSL protocol errors when users clicked the "Edit" button. The error message was:

"This site can't provide a secure connection sankarnag.ai sent an invalid response. ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR"

🔧 Root Cause Analysis

The issue was in the openN8NExternal() function which attempted to use HTTPS protocol detection:

// PROBLEMATIC CODE (before fix)
function openN8NExternal() {
    const protocol = window.location.protocol === 'https:' ? 'https:' : 'http:';
    const baseUrl = protocol === 'https:' ? 'https://sankarnag.ai:5678' : 'http://119.18.62.193:5678';
    window.open(baseUrl, '_blank');
}
            

Problem: When the main site was accessed via HTTPS, the function tried to access N8N at https://sankarnag.ai:5678, but the N8N service doesn't have SSL/TLS certificates configured on port 5678.

✨ Solution Implemented

Fixed the function to always use HTTP for the N8N service:

// FIXED CODE (after fix)
function openN8NExternal() {
    // Always use HTTP for N8N service as it doesn't have SSL configured
    const baseUrl = 'http://119.18.62.193:5678';
    window.open(baseUrl, '_blank');
    showMessage('N8N editor opened in new tab for full workflow editing', 'success');
}
            

Benefits:

✅ Eliminates SSL protocol errors
✅ Works consistently from both HTTP and HTTPS pages
✅ Direct access to N8N service without SSL complications
✅ Maintains all workflow editing functionality

🚀 Deployment Status

✅ Fixed code deployed to HTTP location: /var/www/html/workflows.html

✅ Fixed code deployed to HTTPS location: /home/sankarnag/public_html/workflows.html

✅ N8N service health verified: {"status":"ok"}
