Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi all,

I've setup a virtual host on XAMPP 1.7.3a, to test my custom application I need to access it via https.
I've tried a lots of tutorials and troubleshooting. nothing works (and no idea why?)
Some times in Firefox, I get the error (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long) and some other times "can't find the server at blabla"

and https://localhost also not working, though XAMPP says, "Starting Apache with SSL.." on start
Please somebody help me here to get it working.

I've tried
<VitrualHost *:443>, <VitrualHost localhost:443> etc.


Now my working virtual host(without ssl) look like this.

Code: Select all

NameVirtualHost *
  <VirtualHost *>
    DocumentRoot /opt/lampp/htdocs
    ServerName localhost
  </VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
    DocumentRoot /home/iloveit/sites/example.com
    ServerName example.com
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    ServerAlias *.example.com
    ErrorLog logs/example.com-error_log
    CustomLog logs/example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
<Directory "/home/iloveit/sites/example.com">
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

</Directory

>

and my host file

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 example.com

any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Any helpful pages in these Google search results?

Thanks Sharley

I've already followed exactly as it's explained in
http://slacksite.com/apache/certificate.php & http://www.nurdletech.com/https.html

but XAMPP says:

XAMPP: Error 1! Couldn't start Apache!
XAMPP: Starting diagnose...
XAMPP: Sorry, I've no idea what's going wrong.
XAMPP: Please contact our forum http://community.apachefriends.org/f/

I'm very new in this and fails to troubleshoot the error myself. please help

When I commented out # Listen 443 and set SSLEngine off in my virtual host file, I could just start the apache without any error. What does it mean?

is there any problem with port 443?
Please anybody guide me here. I'm struck, but Googling...

Hi all,
my issue is solved and I could successfully test my application also

There was a duplicate Listen 127.0.0.1:443 in my virtual host file
This horrible CARELESSNESS wasted my half day!

Thanks Sharley. you thought me to walk myself

I'm just diving on my bed.... tired

Often self teaching is the surest way to learn.

I will close this topic and mark it solved.

Thanks for the feedback and good luck.
