Hey, Look for "Port" or "Listen" directives in your httpd.conf file. What do you see? You should see something line: Listen 80 Listen 443 Or Port 80 Port 443 ---- Graham Frank Neoservers LLC - Founder and Owner Ph: (608) 359-1593 Member of the Better Business Bureau -----Original Message----- From: Daniel D Jones [mailto:ddjones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 9:00 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Apache not listening on port 443 Running Apache 2.2.3 on Debian Etch. I recently rebuilt my server and am in the process of getting all services up and functioning. I have apache2 installed and functional. I'm not trying to get ssl working. I belive I have everything installed and configured. I get no errors when I restart apache. But apache is listening solely on port 80. I have a site enabled: <VirtualHost www.riddlemaster.org:443> DocumentRoot /var/https ServerAdmin root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ServerName www.riddlemaster.org SSLEngine On SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/https.log LogLevel debug <location /> Order allow,deny Allow from all <location> </VirtualHost> The site file is being read. If I introduce an error in the site configuration, it's detected. The log file is created. With logging set to debug, it contains the following twice: [Sat Jul 28 21:40:18 2007] [info] Loading certificate & private key of SSL-aware server [Sat Jul 28 21:40:18 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_pphrase.c(469): unencrypted RSA private key - pass phrase not required [Sat Jul 28 21:40:18 2007] [info] Configuring server for SSL protocol [Sat Jul 28 21:40:18 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_init.c(405): Creating new SSL context (protocols: SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1) [Sat Jul 28 21:40:18 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_init.c(729): Configuring RSA server certificate [Sat Jul 28 21:40:18 2007] [warn] RSA server certificate is a CA certificate (BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE !?) [Sat Jul 28 21:40:18 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_init.c(768): Configuring RSA server private key Other than the one warning concerning the CA certificate, which I believe is normal when using a self signed cert, I can not find any errors or complaints from Apache. Yet running nmap on the server shows port 80 open but port 443 closed. I've shut down the firewall on the server and verified that iptables is not blocking access to the port. I have no idea what to look at next to figure out why Apache isn't listening on port 443. Any hints or suggestions greatly appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
