Post subject: How to enable SSL?
Archived from groups: alt>apache>configuration (more info?)

I can access my apache server 2.0.46 via http://mydomain.com.
However, I cannot access https://mydomain.com. I've obtained
a temporary cert from VeriSign, configured the ssl.conf like:

SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd2/conf/ssl.crt/public.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd2/conf/ssl.key/secureprivate.key

What else to I have to do in the httpd2.conf and ssl.conf
files, in order to access SSL via https://mydomain.com?


-Thanks

Did you started your apache with apachectl startssl ? When you
try to access trought https what does it respond?

I've been using "service httpd2 start" to start apache2.
I receive the following error when using apachectl2:


apache-01:/etc/httpd2/conf> apachectl2 startssl
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

In ssl.conf comment out the #<IfDefine SSL> and #</IfDefine> at the
beginning and end of the file.
Ensure you have the correct entries for DocumentRoot, ServerName, etc.

Use apachectl configtest to see if everything is ok.

Restart apache and it should hopefully work.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

"Unable to open logs" is suspicious, make me think that you are starting
apache with a wrong user or he doesn't have enough right to write in
the logs directory. Anyway, to start apache with ssl support, you need
to specify the startssl bit.

Yes, I've done that, and it returns "Syntax OK" I don't
belive it's a permissions issue, becaue I've changed
ownership of the logs directory and log files to apache2,
and made the perms all 777 for now.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Have you tried rebooting since installing Apache?

The no listening sockets could mean you have another copy of Apache
running and are trying to start a second.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

At one point of what you have said, it seemed to me that you had
Apache running with 'apachectl start', and then you tried it with
'apachectl startssl' without shutting the server down first.

You have to first shut down your non-ssl start-up (apachectl stop),
then start up apache w/ssl with 'apachectl startssl'.

make sure...

ssl.conf has the right webroot set.

that httpd.conf calls ssl.conf at some point.

and that the key files have the right permissions set.


'netstat -ape' and 'ps -auxf' should have apache listening and
processes running.

http://www.devside.net has some info on ssl w/ Apache2.
