SSL won't start on Debian

dbsput · 05-17-2011, 05:13 AM

Hi guys,

Hopefully someone can help.

I have Apache running fine on a webserver but now just tried to get SSL running also. I made a copy of default-ssl and changed the SSLCertificateKeyFile record to match the certificate I had. I enabled the site through a2enmod and restarted apache but a telnet to 443 tells me that SSL is not running. Also apache2ctl -S is not listing the record. There is no indication in the errors logs to give me a clue.

Does anyone have some suggestions to what I can look for?

Hi,

Did you enable the SSL module with

Code:

a2enmod ssl

and enable the site with

Code:

a2ensite yoursite

?

What's in your default-ssl configuration file?

Kind regards,

Eric

Thanks EricTRA,

I have forgotten that the SSL module had to be enabled.
