ssl_error_rx_record_too_long connection error with SSL site in Firefox
- by Thomas
I am trying to set up SSL in Apache but when I go to the server in Firefox I get the following error message:
An error occurred during a connection to sludge.home.
SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
My virtual host config file looks like this.
<IfDefine SSL>
<VirtualHost *:443>

A telnet to this server reveals that server is sending plain HTML back. Further more it seems as though mod_ssl is not loaded/working even though when I httpd -l it shows up as being statically compiled in.
I have exhausted most avenues I can think of.
