log shows connection from server, but then can"t connect from internet client
am 18.07.2002 17:28:27 von Joe Dames
Hello fellow humans!
I am trying desperately to discover the new skill of installing an SSL
certificate on an Apache server which is (hopefully) SSL enabled.
..I start the server:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl
It starts cleanly! (I think)
http://molions.com/joe/apache-ssl_error_log.txt
..No my problems are uncovered. I can connect to port 443 on my virtual server
while using the openssh s_client tool at my servers shell. I cannot, however,
do a normal client connection from another machine's web browser (netscape, IE,
Opera, --all new versions). I have read high and low, and have learned a great
deal, but still am at a loss of what is wrong. I have compiled all of the
variables that I have found to have a direct effect upon the operation of ssl
and included them below for your expert opinions.
..I believe I have accomplished some level of success as evidenced by this
ssl_engine_log snip
http://molions.com/joe/ssl_engine_log_snip.txt
I am concerned about the whole "Init: 1st startup round (still not detached)"
bit in the ssl_engine_log. I don't understand why it must go through 2 startup
rounds. Is this a problem?
..When I run curl secure.mydomain.com:443 from the ssl server, it spits out all
of the html. But I am having no success having a client browser on another
machine connect to port 443 on this virtual server.
..Here is what I get when I run the command: "openssl s_client -connect
secure.mydomain.com:443 -state"
http://molions.com/joe/openssl-s_client_-connect.txt
(I've changed the names to protect the innocent ;)
..Here are my httpd.conf ssl tidbits
http://molions.com/joe/httpd.conf.tidbits.txt
..Here is some of my directory proof that the files are there and who can do what
with them
http://molions.com/joe/ssl_directory_structure.txt
If I have configured something totally wrong (I'm sure), please tell me. I
realize I still have so much to learn. Any help at all will be immensely
appreciated.

Digging deeper, I realized I had overlooked an error in the "openssl s_client"
output:
verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain
Will this help?
openssl verify -CApath /usr/local/apache/conf/ca-bundle/ -CAfile
/usr/local/apache/conf/ca-bundle/ca.txt
I'm not sure if this is what I should be doing.
