[SOLVED] Can't start https service in Centos 5.

brave heart · 05-13-2007, 10:33 PM

I can't start my https service in my Centos 5, even after I reinstall apache.

It always shows a popup "Unable to retrieve https://127.0.0.1/:Connection refused".

However, it's ok on "http://127.0.0.1".

Please help!

Thanks,

Try turning off iptables & selinux. Do you see any other error messages in /var/log/messages or /var/log/http?

Have you set up the certificates for SSL?

To blkcamarozr28:

I turn off iptables&selinux, however, it still failed on "https...".

To billymayday:

Could you please teach how to certificates for SSL?

Thanks,

Try this for a start

Hi, billymayday. Thanks for your reply.

After install mod_ssl, the https works well. So my problem should be caused by lack of mod_ssl.

For lack of hard drive space, I choose defaults installation with few modules. I think it should be the reason.

Thank you once again.
