Having trouble configuring apache virtualhost SSL

Hello,

I am really having trouble getting a virtualhost to work for an SSL certificate.. my browser just will not load the page and I don't know what I'm doing wrong - could someone please help me? I have tried several different articles on how to setup a virtualhost and none of them seem to work.

My ssl.conf http://pastebin.com/5npepGfv

*Note: I did purchase an SSL certificate - it is not self signed

Any help is appreciated,

I see that you edited the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf file - I would recommend that you restore the original file if that is the case.


The easiest way to add a virtualhost (CentOS) is to create a config file in:

/etc/httpd/conf.d/websitename.com.conf

that will contain your settings.

Here's a template that you could use for the SSL part:

And a full example config:

It's just not working.. I tried creating a totally new file but the page load.. I just don't know what to do

 

Did you restored /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf to it's original state ?
Also did you changed all of the variables/paths on the example config file ?

 

I don't know how to restore the ssl.conf .. I didn't make a backup before editing it

 

try running:
yum remove mod_ssl -y

(this will remove mod_ssl)

and then:

rm /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf

after that install mod_ssl again:

yum install mod_ssl -y

 

it worked but still nothing.. when I try to visit

https://www.mineprowebhost.com

Code (markup):

it just loads and loads forever but http://mineprowebhost.com loads just fine but it isn't secured..

 

Check if your firewall is not blocking port 443

 

How do I do that? I am very new to Apache so I don't know many commands.

 

You could check if port 443 is blocked:

iptables --list

Code (markup):

 

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source              destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source              destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source              destination
[root@drummerzcraft ~]#

Code (markup):

Uh.. that's what I got.. what does that mean?

 

It means that your iptables firewall rules are empty and port 443 is not blocked by the firewall.

 

for some reason when I go to

https://(my server IP here)

Code (markup):

my website comes up and it's secured - it just will not work with the virtualhost and the domain

 

I am going to assume that it's hopeless any good uses for an SSL certificate? lol
