SSL not working after upgrade
 

I have upgrade the following packages (Slackware 9.0)
- apache-1.3.29-i386-1.tgz (from 1.3.27)
- mod_ssl-2.8.16_1.3.29-i386-1.tgz (from 2.8.14)
- php-4.3.3-i386-1.tgz (from 4.3.2)

Initially my SSL works but it gave me "Cannot find server or DNS Error" on my IE.

I redo the cert and key using /var/adm/setup/apache/mod_ssl. Restart apache with SSL and started with "/usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL", also double check netstat, listening on port 443.

Is there anything different for the upgrade that I missed out?
Search apache website and the Linux forums that I know without success.

My apache error_log

Any suggestions and information will be greatly appreciated.

is IE the only thing with a problem?

maybe it's your security settings.

I have another server using the same setting but it works.
I have compared the settings (httpd.conf and mod_ssl.conf) almost line by line but still was not working.

What I mean is that if certain security settings were configured to not allow an invalid certificate on a site where the old certificate was cached maybe it would not prompt for acceptance of the certificate.


The other thing I would suggest if that's not it or doesn't make much sense, is to create a new site certificate. Also look in the log files in /var/log/httpd.

OpenSSL version problem??
 

I have checked my /var/log/packages and found that OpenSSL/0.9.7c was installed. Somehow the apache reported "OpenSSL/0.9.7b".

I have tried to re-install the OpenSSL/0.9.7c but it said "skipping already installed".

Could this be a problem and how can I rectify it?

From my apache log file

apache/1.3.29 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.7b PHP/4.3.3

maybe you could search for openssl...b and see where it's at. YOu should be able to remove it and restart apache.
