!Friendica Support
I've been trying to post to this group and the admin group from my new friendica-sverige.se instance. But for some reason it doesn't show up here.

When I post to @FriendicaTalk it show up there as expected. I wonder what would be different about posting to a group at anonsys and on friendi.ca?

in reply to Leander (Fossfan)

I can see messages in the logs of forum.friendi.ca:

2026-07-31T04:55:01Z app [NOTICE]: Invalid HTTP signature, message will not be trusted. {"uid":0,"actor":"https://friendica-sverige.se/profile/leanderlindahl", ... ...

At a first glances I can tell that your server is communication via IPv6 with forum.friendi.ca. But there is no AAAA DNS record for your IPv6 (2a01:4f9:c015:6d88::1).

root@forum:~# host friendica-sverige.se
friendica-sverige.se has address 65.109.12.183
friendica-sverige.se mail is handled by 0 mail.friendica-sverige.se.

I'm nor sure if this causing the messages about an invalid HTTP signature Friendica is reporting. But you should repair this nonetheless.

I have a VPS with Hetzner and the IP for that is 65.109.12.183 which I put in the A record.

I must admit I'm not an expert on these things and wasn't aware of AAAA-record.

I now tried to add a new AAAA-record. I'm super grateful for the help. Let me know if you spot anything that's not right about the configuration.

Yep. But we excluded this from the list of possible issues. :-)

I still see this message:
2026-07-31T09:45:02Z app [NOTICE]: Invalid HTTP signature, message will not be trusted. {"uid":0,"actor":"https://friendica-sverige.se/profile/leanderlindahl", ... ...

I guess this check in ActivityPub\Receiver.php is failing:

115    $http_signer = HTTPSignature::getSigner($body, $header);
116    if ($http_signer === false) {
117        DI::logger()->notice('Invalid HTTP signature, message will not be trusted.', ['uid' => $uid, 'actor' => $actor, 'header' => $header, 'body' => $body]);
118        $signer = [];

@Michael 🇺🇦 Any idea when and why this happens?

in reply to Steffen K9 🐰

I'm not 100% sure. But this shouldn't be a huge problem when it comes to public posts, since we then simply verify a post by fetching it from the original source.

Please have a look at the log entry you displayed above. There is a request-id. So please grep all entries with the same request-id. This might help to see the whole picture.

in reply to Michael 🇺🇦

There is only one log entry for tis request-id. I'm on log level 'Notice'. Do I need a more verbose level?

@Michael 🇺🇦

I got some debugging info. There is now an INFO message with "valid HTTP signature". But I cannot find the post in the helpers group.

The log for the request-id is pretty long. So I have stored the line in a file and uploaded it.

The errors are gone in the logs. Everything looks fine now. And we already sorted out the reason why your posts don't appear in the group. You need to follow the group. Otherwise your posts are being rejected. So please follow helpers@forum.friendi.ca first before posting to that group.
