SSL (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

nortonz · 06-30-2010, 07:31 PM

My SSL is not working, I get the error I just moved my site off GoDaddy, and on to my own server. I now get this error message.

"SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)"

I'm not sure what that means, or how to fix it. I used these same Security Certificates om my other server, and they worked just fine.

Double check your key file and cert file. I recall seeing that
message when I included an intermediate ca certificate in the
host's certificate file. I made sure that only the key was in
the key file and only the one certificate was in the cert file.

Well the certificate files seem to be ok, and I have been using them, but I just moved to a new server, and I'm guessing I didn't get them installed correctly. I used "ISPCONFIG 3" and it looked like it installed ok, but just get the error.

Thanks for the Reply.

Hi,
as utter nitwit in this field, where do I find above key and file?
My SSL has been removed but still lingers around the login page,
and my host did merge with another company.
I need to remove all of SSL traces.
Thank you.

The files could be in a lot of different directories. Probably the
easiest way to find them is to look at the httpd.conf or the ssl.conf
files to find which certificate files are being used. You might have
to do a little detective work...

Thank you for reply, carltm

I've been busy all night and day and found few key & cert,
removed all of it. My host apparently had a certificate still working,
I removed it as well. As far as I can tell, I removed anything but the
Joomla SSL.

But, it still doesn't work.
It speaks of a defective site, it can't connect to my IP.
I'm planning on migrating the site but I'm afraid it can't be solved with the new host.
