Re: Cannot access my webserver any longer

["Cohen, Laurence" <lcohen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the response Yehuda.  Unfortunately Chrome doesn't give me this error.  It just tells me that my connection isn't private.  When I click on advanced there is no option to go forward to the web server like I get on some of the other servers I work with.

I have seen this happen when you send an HSTS header. The Chrome error would say that specifically.

A workaround would be to install that certificate on your system (with the mmc certificate snap-in) so that it becomes a trusted certificate - trusted site in IE is not enough.

I have a test server on which we have a self-signed certificate.  I get the error "There is a problem with this website's security certificate." which is expected because I'm using a self-signed cert.  Normally I click on "Continue to this website (not recommended)." and it goes through to my website without a problem.  Now, however, the only thing that happens is that the link mentioned in the last sentence disappears, and I don't get to my website.

I'm using IE currently, but I've also tested in Firefox and Chrome and I basically have the same problem.  The apache version is 2.2.  I looked around for a solution, and I've added my site to the trusted sites as recommended, but it still doesn't work.  I looked in the error_log and I don't see anything except a child connecting and then disconnecting right after that.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
