Your apache server may have the name "www.servername.com" but your DNS server does not know about it and tries to reach it in the internet (unluckily for you, this is not a real domain/site , or else you'd figured out by now when you'd got that other site in your browser...) ! So ... you should probably add www.servername.com in your /etc/hosts file in order to access it without any other (more complicated) intervention. Or, maybe, just access it by it's local IP address instead of the "name" ... On Fri, Nov 15, 2013 at 3:36 PM, Cornel Diaconu <lenrocd@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello,

I set up Apache2 and two virtual hosts, one for port 80 ant the other for 443. Certs were installed and conf files look good, including listen.conf, however, while the site loads in a browser on port 80, once switched to https the browser errors out with "...can't establish a connection to the server at www.servername.com".

On the server side I have no errors in the apache error logs and nothing in /var/log/messages.

The vhost entry is thus;

<snip> <VirtualHost *:443> DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/www ServerName www.servername.com:443 ServerAdmin me@localhost ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/www_error_log LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common CustomLog /var/log/apache2/www_access_log common <Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/www"> allow from all Options -Indexes </Directory> SSLEngine on SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3 SSLCipherSuite ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:!SSLv2:!LOW:!EXP:!MD5:@STRENGTH SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/.ssl/servername.com.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/.ssl/servername.com.key SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/.ssl/gd_bundle.crt </VirtualHost> <snip>

and listen.conf

<snip> Listen 80

<IfDefine SSL> <IfDefine !NOSSL> <IfModule mod_ssl.c>

Listen 443 # Listen 10.10.0.50:443

</IfModule> </IfDefine> </IfDefine> <snip>

There firewall is off on the server as it is only accessible on the local network.

Any ideas on what I can do to get this working?

Many thanks in advance.
