Apache2 SSL problem

15 Aug 2004

      Hi

I have a problem getting Apache 2.0.49 on SuSE 9.1 to work with SSL. It 
works with http, but for some reason https won't work.

I have another server running Apache 1.3 on SuSE 8.2 and it works very well. 
The certificates are created the same way and my 9.1 config files are based 
on the ones from 8.2. There has been a change between /etc/sysconfig/Apache 
and /etc/sysconfig/Apache2, however.

/usr/sbin/httpd2 -S returns "VirtualHost configuration: syntax OK"

openssl s_client -connect localhost:443 -state -debug returns "connect: 
Connection refused" and "errorno=29"

As far as I understand, all config files are included by 
/etc/Apache2/httpd.conf.
The necessary ports are open in the firewall.
What I need is serving of http and https on the same IP number and same 
FQDN.

I am greatful for any help. Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Below are the sections in the various config files I believe to be of 
importance:
...
From /etc/apache2/listen.conf:
Listen my.ip.address.here:80
<IfDefine SSL>

	<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
	    Listen my.ip.address.here:443
	</IfModule>
    </IfDefine>
</IfDefine>
