gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

[Narendra Uttekar]

Hi,
The ignite which i had taken on server has encrption and decryption enabled RSA Key for sending files over ftp. So i thought if i restored that ignite on other server..it should work without any problem to sending files over ftp to other external server. But when i try i am getting the error message...
gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit ELG-E key, ID 54C728F2, created 2007-03-28
"xxx "
gpg: Signature made Fri Feb 20 12:11:59 2009 PST using RSA key ID 5C1B4E31
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

Thanks,
Narendra

Who is "i"?

GnuPG key files are normally found under a
user's HOME directory ("~/.gnupg"). What's
there?

I means myself Narendra...Becuase logically it should work becuase i had restored ignite backup.
Do i will need to regenerate the key and send to customer?

Shalom,

If the keys were stored in the vg restored from Ignite, you should not have to generate new keys again.

Unless you swapped out a NIC card or something.

Are the files there? What are the permissions?

"if i restored that ignite on other server..it should work without..."

so you took an ignite image on A and restored on B, correct? if so, that essentially changed the nic/hostname. The public key is out there w/ the old server ip / name, but not the new one....

I think you need to go thru the distribution process again....using the existing key if desired.

Hi,
You are correct I took an ignite image on A and restored on B. But i kept the hostname same but differnet IP. But i am able to connect to Customer FTP server and able to download the files which are encrypted. I am only getting this error if i ran through automated script which is scheduled in cron.

As usual, it might help if you didn't hide
all the important details when you described
the problem.

> [...] I am only getting this error [...]

What, exactly, is in whose crontab?

> [...] automated script [...]

Does this script work when not run by cron,
and fail when run by cron?

What's in the script?

Thanks for the solution.
