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.
