Can't get ssl to work with apache


Hi everybody, i've been trying to get ssl to work on my box. I have all the certificates created signed by a CA. I restart apache and it asks me for the pass phrase, i type it in... everything works fine. When I use my browser to get to https://server.org, i get a can't connect message.
I have two virtual hosts.

the one i want ssl on has two 2 vh declarations one for port 80 the other one for port 443. Apache is listening to 443 in the main config file.

this is the vh include file

<VirtualHost *:443>
#SSLEnable
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key

ServerName server.org
ServerAlias server2.org
# NOTE: This is the correct document root. This is what the clients want.
DocumentRoot /var/www/main

</VirtualHost>

<Virtualhost *:80>

ServerName server.org
ServerAlias server2.org
DocumentRoot /var/www/main
</VirtualHost>

[root@tobacco conf]# netstat -nalp | grep httpd

[/CODE]

I was using a self signed certificate here, as you can see i am not getting the HTTP response.


Also seems like port 443 is opened.

any help is greatly appreciated

There are some things you might check:
1. Does server.org resolves to the ip of your ssl server?
2. What happens when you use locally https://localhost?
3. Is there a firewall in between that blocks port 443?
4. The new firefox 3.x gives a different kind of warning when you visit ssl sites with "untrusted" certificates. If you don't pay attention you might disable access to these sites permanently.
