Hi guys,

Ive created a self cert for the moment ( to get it working )

Ive put the below in my virtualhost...
<VirtualHost *>
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl/SITENAME.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/ssl/SITENAME.com.key
..
..
..

Anyway,
Apache restarts fine and can see it listening on 443.


However whenever i try and browse i just keep getting this god forsaken error in firefox.

Ive googled and googled and googled and nothing..

Any ideas anyone?
Its driving me quite insane.

An error occurred during a connection to www.imsupporting.com.
SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

Turns out I needed to use name based vhosts

Got it working now. ( Only on a local generated ssl ) but at least its now ready for a real cert

Blood pressure is easing.

Can i have my own section of this site please?

Whenever i spend days on an issue then decide to post here, I figure it out shortly after posting.

Its like my brain knows when ive posted and then only decides to help me with my problem once the post has been submitted.

Did you restarted httpd on your server?
Maybe it's happening due antivirus blocking software?
