SSL, homemade certs, and apache

[jbl4me]

Hello,
This is gonna be somewhat a vague message, but hopefully you can help fill me in on where to go from here. I am running suse 10 with apache 2.0.54, with the proper SSL mod installed. It seems that modSSL is no longer required. What I want to do is allow SSL connections with a homemade cert, that shows a warning in the browser.

On my old Redhat server, I could get to any page with SSL just by adding https://

I would like to replicate this on my suse box.

Thanks
Will

The correct behavior is to show the warning in the browser.

Yes, right now I get a 404 because I do not have something setup correctly. I understand there will be a warning unless I purchase a verified cert.

404 is 'not found' Is the document root of the virual server set correctly? Is there an index.html in this document root?

Well, IE gives a 404, mozilla gives more deatail, it says that the server has sent an incorrect or unexpected message. It never gives the option to accept the cert it just dies. I think the problem is that the cert is not installed correctly.

Thanks

That is what the log shows when I try to access the server (https). Once from work then 4 times from home.

/var/log/apache2/error_log

What happens if you try to access http:\\yourserver:443

Note: no https and the addition of port 443
