SSL error with Apache 2.4

[Gamerboy59]

Hi,

I|m getting the following error on enabling SSL.

 * Restarting web server apache2                                         [fail]
 * The apache2 configtest failed.
Output of config test was:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 18 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/10_froxlor_ipandport_12.345.67.89.80.conf:
Invalid command 'SSLEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

How to enable SSL?

Could you also post your domain error log, please? And check if your key/cert match:

 

openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in /etc/ssl/froxlor-custom/my-domain.de.crt | openssl md5

openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in /etc/ssl/froxlor-custom/my-domain.de.key | openssl md5

[Sephiroth]

depending on your operating system you might have a special ssl log file like /var/log/apache2/ssl_error_log

[d00p]

"a2enmod ssl"....just use Google for simple questions like that...

[Gamerboy59]

Thanks.

 

I'm currently experiencing issues when adding a Domain. While using subdomians only everything works as expected but when I add a new tld an SSL-secured connection is no longer possible and the browser can't connect to the website. Unfortunately, apache is not giving any errors.

[Sephiroth]

Check your vHosts and error_logs

 

There WILL be a hint to where it could be failing

[Gamerboy59]

It's the only result I currently get: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long

[d00p]

please re-read what Sephiroth wrote...check SERVER error-logs...not the error-message firefox gives you

[Gamerboy59]

That's what inside the apache error.log:

Without SSL it works fine.

[Gamerboy59]

Yes, it matches. The domain error log is empty, only the access log is filled.

[Gamerboy59]

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.1 There's no SSL log.

[Sephiroth]

We can only help you if you can provice error or debug information.

For anything else you have to contact your server administrator to debug or generate the debug output.

 

If you need someone to login to your server and debug use some managed administration services or quick help services like https://froxlor.support

[Ithariel]

What Output do you get from: openssl s_client -connect localhost:443 ?

 

What SSL Modul are you using? Normal SSL, or maybe gnutls?

 

Is Apache listening on 443? There could be another process which uses the https port.

[adlerweb]

Just by chance: Are you sure it's a server error? Did you try a different browser? For some reason Firefox has a lot of problems with SSL connections. If your site is reachable on a public IP you may also have a look at one of the various SSL test sites (ssllabs for example) which could reveal additional info if there is a certificate error.

[Gamerboy59]

Yes, it's the server.. other friends having the same problem, doesn't matter which browser.

[Gamerboy59]

openssl s_client -connect my-domain.de:443
CONNECTED(00000003)

For localhost it works fine.

 

This is one debug message:

openssl s_client -connect my-domain:443 -state -nbio 2>&1 | grep "^SSL"
SSL_connect:before/connect initialization
SSL_connect:unknown state
SSL_connect:error in unknown state

And that's the Apache debug log:

Edit2: It looks like the SSL_Modul is not enabled for some reason...

[d00p]

SSL enabled for vhost froxlor.my-domain.de:80...

 

Port 80 is NOT for SSL....did you enable SSL for Port 80????

[Gamerboy59]

I don't think so, where to check?

 

This is my ports.conf:

# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

Listen 80

<IfModule ssl_module>
	Listen 443
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
	Listen 443
</IfModule>

# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

[d00p]

Can you please get an admin or assign this to froxlor.support...you don't seem to know what you are doing, it's a pain to squeeze every little information out of you...

[Gamerboy59]

SSL enabled for vhost froxlor.my-domain.de:80...

 

Port 80 is NOT for SSL....did you enable SSL for Port 80????

SSL not enabled on vhost froxlor.my-domain.de:80, skipping SSL Setup

[d00p]

You've just proven that you should do what I suggested above...

[adlerweb]

SSL not enabled on vhost froxlor.my-domain.de:80, skipping SSL Setup

 

AH00526: Syntax error on line 18 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/10_froxlor_ipandport_12.345.67.89.80.conf:

Invalid command 'SSLEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Obviously your config tries to enable it on port 80 but fails, your initial message clearly states there are SSL-commands in the definition for port 80. As already mentioned here: SSL/TLS/HTTPs is not supposed to reside on Port 80, usually its on 443, so there is something completely off with your config. Please revert to the last known good backup, start with a fresh install or try to find someone to fix (and preferably show you how) your configuration.

 

For everyone who used the search some basic steps to enable SSL in Froxlor (if your system is already able to handle SSL):

- IPs and Ports -> Add -> Same IP as HTTP, Port 443, enable SSL-Port and supply certificate details. Additional settings according to your configuration.

- Domains -> Edit Domain -> Tick the newly created SSL-IP

[Gamerboy59]

Thanks. However, the config for port 80 doesn't include the word 'SSL', so I don't know what's going wrong there.

I tried adding SSL-support like this:

• IPs and Ports -> Add -> Same IP as HTTP, Port 443, enable SSL-Port and supply certificate details. Additional settings according to your configuration.
• Domains -> Edit Domain -> Tick the newly created SSL-IP
• Customer Portal -> Domain, Setting -> SSL-Domain Settings

Edit: Maybe this is connected with the use of CGI-FCGI?

[d00p]

Edit: Maybe this is connected with the use of CGI-FCGI?

 

no

[Gamerboy59]

Ok thanks, but this goes well?
 

1. IPs and Ports -> Add -> Same IP as HTTP, Port 443, enable SSL-Port and supply certificate details. Additional settings according to your configuration.
2. Domains -> Edit Domain -> Tick the newly created SSL-IP
3. Customer Portal -> Domain, Setting -> SSL-Domain Settings

[d00p]

Why dont you just TRY it...do we really need to hold your hand on every step?
