I am having some trouble getting an SSL connection to work properly. It has been a while since I have done this. If I disable SSL I can get to the http site just fine. As a trouble shooting step I left the http site up and enabled the SSL site. Again I can get to the http site but not the https site. I am getting no helpful messages in my logs. I have my log level set to debug. I am running apache 2.2.14 I am using nearly the same configuration I had previously used for a SSL protected web server, but there are some difference. For one thing, when I received the .crt I was instructed to load an intermediary .crt file. I followed the instructions on the GeoTrust site and now have this SSL configuration: SSLEngine on SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL SSLCertificateFile "/files/thisdomain.conf/thisdomain.crt" SSLCertificateKeyFile "/files/thisdomain.conf/thisdomain.key" SSLCACertificateFile "/files/thisdomain.conf/intermediate.crt" SSLOptions +StdEnvVars +ExportCertData here is the ls output from /files/thisdomain.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1989 Jun 16 23:55 apache.thisdomain.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1756 Jun 16 22:46 thisdomain.crt -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1675 Jun 16 23:30 thisdomain.key -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1675 Jun 16 22:44 thisdomainkey.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1391 Jun 16 23:41 intermediate.crt Another thing I wonder about is that when I created the .crt, I forgot to indicate that I was using Apache SSL. When I received the notice that the .crt was ready, the message indicated I was using some off brand, MS IIS. I spoke with my reseller's help desk and they indicated this was not a problem. Maybe they are wrong? When I created my key, it was a .pem file. Because my previously working site had a .key file, I copied the .pem to .key. My research indicates there is a difference beyond file extension. Could this be the problem? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
