Hi,

I am running node.js application on port 8000 and Apache HTTP server on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

# node --version
v16.20.0
# httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.57 (IUS)
Server built:   Apr  7 2023 14:49:47
#

httpd.conf file configuration

#cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/nodejsnodejsssl.conf
<VirtualHost *:443>
    SSLEngine On
    SSLProxyEngine On
    ServerName nodejs.mydomain.com
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/nodejs.mydomain.com/cert.pem
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/nodejs.mydomain.com/privkey.pem
    SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/nodejs.mydomain.com/chain.pem
    <Location />
        ProxyPass http://localhost:8000/
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

When I am trying to access the URL https://nodejs.mydomain.com:8000/demo/index.html, I am encountering the below error on the browser.

This site can’t provide a secure connection
nodejs.mydomain.com sent an invalid response.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Please comment if the above httpd conf file is incorrect or If i am missing anything. Thanks in advance. 

Best Regards,

Kaushal
