|
|
hi i'm getting stuck on setting up a self-signed ssl cert on my linux box. I followed the directions here: http://library.linode.com/web-servers/apache/ssl-guides/centos but still not helping.
When I restart apache i get "NameVirtualHost [ip]:443 has no VirtualHosts"
In my ssl.conf file i have the following:
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
#Listen 443
NameVirtualHost [ip]:443
<VirtualHost [ip]:443>
SSLEngine on
SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl/httpd.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/ssl/httpd.key
.
.
.
so i do have a virtual host defined..not sure what's going on? anyone help? |

Are you sure you got the IP address exactly right? Check for typos. Also check out this page. (In fact, I'm not sure if you even need NameVirtualHost there, since SSL is technically IP-based virtual hosting.)
Why do you have "Listen 443" commented out? |

[Thu Feb 09 21:54:29 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost [ip]:443 has no VirtualHosts
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443 |

That's really strange. Are you sure there's nothing else listening on port 443? Perhaps there's a duplicate "Listen" or "NameVirtualHost" line somewhere?
Different versions of Apache on different OS's have different configuration hierarchies, and different tutorials also recommend different file/folder structures, so it's not easy to tell where everything is. This can result in duplicate or conflicting entries. Start with httpd.conf and you'll be able to figure out which files/folders are included. |
