Thread-topic: New Hardware Causing Apache Cert Error ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Hello.

I am running Apache 2.2.29 and Tomcat 7.0.64 with tomcat connector(mod_jk) version 1.2.41 on AIX version 7.1 server.

We are trying upgrade the hardware and just move the LPAR(VM) to a new machine. The new hardware has the same IP address and hostname. Of course the old machine is shutdown during the switchover. While running the LPAR(VM) on the new hardware, I am getting a certificate error in my chrome browser:

SSL connection error

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.

I don’t see any errors in the apache logs.

Apache is using a VeriSign Class 3 Extended Validation (SSL SGC CA) certificate. As long as the new hardware has the same hostname, the certificate should not care about the hardware, right?

Thank you for any help you may have to offer on this.

David
