[users@httpd] Help with SSL not working on Ubuntu 14.04

[Travis Johnston <tj...@collaborative.org>]

Hello,

This is my first post to the group so testing the waters with an issue that
I am having. I run 4 Ubuntu servers, each controlled with Webmin and
Virtualmin. I am adding SSL to one of the sites but every time I visit the
https://www.domain.org it gives me either one of the errors.

Chrome: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Firefox: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

The Chrome one isn't very helpful but the Firefox error at least tells me
that it's an issue on the server. I've posted to Stackoverflow about the
issue as well here:


https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51733739/ssl-on-ubuntu-14-04-virtualmin-virtual-server-shows-unknown-protocol

I've made sure that port 443 is being listened to and in the
site-avaiable/domain-name.conf file there are 2 <Virtualhost> entries, one
for port 80 and one for port 443.

The SSL cert installed correctly without any errors and the 443 entry was
added and appears fine. SSLEngine is On, file paths for certs are all
correct. The *.conf files are being loaded by Apache OK.

One issue I do have is if I set the 443 to *:443 in the conf file, a
different website on the server loads if you visit https. I need to
specifically enter the IPADDRESS:443 or the domain:443 to stop it from
redirecting.

Any help is appreciated, really stumped with this one.

Thanks,

Thanks Yehuda! That change to the ports.conf file was a suggestion from a
different forum I tried when I was troubleshooting. I ended up removing all
of that and just using Listen 80 and Listen 443 https. Glad to know it
would of caused more harm than good if I left it.

Hi Travis,
I see you mentioned on StackOverflow that your question is resolved (extra
virtual hosts in the configuration meant you weren't reaching to correct
host).

One recommendation based on the config you posted there: Don't use
<IfModule mod_ssl.c> if it is critical to you that your site is available
over ssl (or similar for any other module you need).
<IfModule > is great if you don't know anything about the server where your
code is actually going to run, but not necessarily when you control the
server.
If your SSL configuration is inside <IfModule > and for some reason mod_ssl
isn't loaded, you will not get an error message when you run a config check
(highly recommended before reloading/restarting the service) that SSL (or
other module) isn't loaded.
You would rather know that.

Re: [users@httpd] Where to download HTTPD

[Yehuda Katz <ye...@ymkatz.net>]

Welcome to the mailing list - please don't hijack other people's threads.

There is no official binary distribution for HTTPD. I recommend the builds
from ApacheLounge.
https://www.apachelounge.com/download/win64/

Hi
Can someone point me to a site where I download the windows installer
(.msi) for the Apache HTTP Server version 2.4.34?
I am new at this.
Thanks a bunch!
