Linux SSL/Apache issue

[ewitte]

I have a few servers that were shipped down from Florida. The only way to get appache to start correctly is to comment out the "SSL on" line on the Virtual site on :443. If I start apache from the command prompt with it enabled it prompts for the password. It takes my password but when I physically go to the non SSL site I'm told to go to use https instead. Before shipping this never happened. The only thing I changed was the IP address. Also if I do this (enter the password manually) I have to manually start apache each time. It does not startup automatically. It gives an error about not being able to find the key. Here is what I get if it is enabled (even with SSL off listed on the other virtual hosts)

Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.


Hint: https://servername

Apache version number: Port 80

You can try to strip out the password by using openssl on the key. I forget how to do this but most guides for making your own key tell how to do it. With that done you'd be able to start Apache on boot.

Any idea why it wants to run SSL on all servers now? Even if I put "SSLEngine off" on the other sites (ports) it wants to load.
