Hi.

 

2 weeks trying to get this to work and I am at a loss.  I am hoping someone with more knowledge on the subject can point me in the right direction here.

 

MY SSL TEST ERROR: Results:SSL Connection Failed!

Have had CSR signed by GoDaddy.

HERE IS WHATS IN THE APACHE LOG:-

Any assistance with this is really appreciated as im sick of it and GoDaddy support/Documentation is poor.

 

Thanks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Additional information:-

 

nmap -sS localhost

But it seems SSL module may not be present in apache:-

 

# httpd -l

Compiled in modules:

  core.c

  prefork.c

  http_core.c

  mod_so.c

 

 

looking in to it...

 

 

Sorry SSL error log in original post should read:

To start the ssl_module I added LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so and restarted apache, however this returns '[warn] module ssl_module is already loaded, skipping' on startup.

 

So the module is loaded!

 

Back to SSL.conf.......

 

I will look into named virtual host being the problem here........

 

This is kinda good it's like a troubleshooting log to myself :-)

In my .conf I did have a NameVirtualHost *:443 which I commented out restarted apache but still no love.

 

A good debug command I found in the mod_ssl documentation:

 

[]#openssl s_client -connect locahost:443 -state -debug

 

However the output was huge.

 

Some meaning things I could see here were:-

 

No client certificate CA names sent

SSL handshake has read 5548 bytes and written 311 bytes

New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA

Server public key is 2048 bit

Secure Renegotiation IS supported

Compression: zlib compression

Expansion: zlib compression

--bla --bla lists SESSION-ID and Master-Key OK and then --

SSL3 alert read:warning:close notify

closed

 

 

After the openssl debug command above ssl_error_log.conf reads:

 

[Thu Apr 28 16:51:45 2011] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1870): OpenSSL: Handshake: done

[Thu Apr 28 16:53:45 2011] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1884): OpenSSL: Write: SSL negotiation finished successfully

 

Looks like OpenSSL I/O error accuring then times out!

Argghh.  Handshake works so this would suggest SSL cert,key,chain are communicating and setup correct yes?  I still receive Results:SSL Connection Failed! from GoDaddy's install tool and when I try and connect to https://atmydomain I get a 'This webpage is not available' message with Error 118 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.  However there seems to be no major errors in the logs??? 

 

If someone has any ideas/comments/even abuse, please please suggest.

I take it there is no firewall involved?

 

I see you done a nmap. Can you do a telnet yourdomain 443 from a remote computer and see if port 443 is open.

 

If I were you'd I'd go back to setting up a self-signed ssl cert and get that working first.

Although its not for fedora take a look at:

http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/Apache_2_%26_SSL_-_PHP4_-_MySQL_4.1

 

exerpt of what you need to try:

mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl

cd /etc/apache2/ssl

openssl req -x509 -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout hostkey.pem -nodes -out hostcert.pem

cat hostkey.pem >> hostcert.pem

mv hostcert.pem apache.pem

 

<VirtualHost *:443>

//insert code as Normal; same as above

SSLEngine On

SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem

</VirtualHost>

Thanks Steve,

 

[]#telnet mydomain 443

Trying ###.#.###.###...

telnet: connect to address ###.#.###.###: Connection refused

 

I created a self signed certificate and changed the details in ssl.conf.

 

[]#service httpd restart

  Stopping httpd: [ OK ]

  Starting httpd: Apache/2.2.15 mod_ssl/2.2.15 (Pass Phrase Dialog)

  Some of your private key files are encrypted for security reasons.

  In order to read them you have to provide the pass phrase.

 

  Server mydomain:443 (RSA)

  Enter pass phrase:

 

  OK: Pass Phrase Dialog successful.  [ OK ]

 

[]#telnet mydomain 443

Trying ###.#.###.###...

I'll take the $50 ;)

Apache has a problem with SSL and keepalives in M$... I've just successfully fixed the problem for me, maybe it works for you too. (change the useragent as needed)

 

BrowserMatch "Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider" redirect-carefully nokeepalive

 

One additional question: Why do people choose boards to whre you cannot annonymously post a solution' Often I'll find solutions for problems that are not only happen to me. I would answer them and share my knowledge... But do I have to register at each and any forum for that!? I don't think so... Please consider using mailinglists, there people like me can answer without registering or adding themselves to anything.... I've a good day today and have searched long for a solution. It makes me happy to share knowlege, but I HATE TO REGISTER!

 

Have a nice day, and I hope the solution will work for you too!

Every year I have to renew my GoDaddy SSL on my Fedora Virtual Host and every year I forget how to so it (and Go Daddy's docs don't help much) so I wrote this little tutorial...

 

From GoDaddy's 'Manage Certificates' interface, download:

 

yourdomain.com.crt

gd_bundle.crt

 

…and drop them into /etc/pki/tls/certs

 

Go Daddy's docs advise you to now restart Apache (once you've configured ssl.conf) and if you do, Apache will fail because...

 

you need to MANUALLY upload www.yourdomain.com.key to /etc/pki/tls/private

 

What's confusing is that there's no way to obtain www.yourdomain.com.key from the 'Manage Certificates' interface

 

You need to log into Simple Control Panel and click the SSL Certificates icon then click the edit icon on your latest certificate files.

 

From there, you need to copy and paste the contents of ‘intermediate certificate chain’ and paste into a file called www.yourdomain.com.key which can then be uploaded to /etc/pki/tls/private

 

Restarting Apache will now work (not FAIL)
