How to fix ssl error rx record too long

Help! (Home for newbies)

Hi,

I recently installed a ssl certificate manually to a virtualmin virtual server.

Though it works, it throws “ssl error rx record too long” when I access http://domain.tld:10000

So I read up and saw that it’s a flawed implementation of the SSL on the server.

I run virtualmin on top webmin as a module - manual installation on Fedora 8

There is a ssl.conf file under the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory and also the virtualhost directive inside the httpd.conf file.

The ssl.conf file is attached and below is the relevant SSL Virtual Server

<VirtualHost 192.168.2.196:443>
SuexecUserGroup “#501” “#501”
ServerName domain.tld
DocumentRoot /home/domain/public_html
ErrorLog /var/log/virtualmin/domain.tld_ssl_error_log
CustomLog /var/log/virtualmin/domain.tld_ssl_access_log combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/domain/cgi-bin/
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.php4 index.php5
<Directory /home/domain/public_html>
Options -Indexes +IncludesNOEXEC +FollowSymLinks
allow from all
AllowOverride All

<Directory /home/domain/cgi-bin>
allow from all

SSLEngine on
SSLCACertificateFile /usr/lib/openssl/gd_bundle.crt
SSLCertificateFile /home/graduatingclassmates/ssl.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/graduatingclassmates/ssl.key

Will this cause any problems? Any pointers on how I fix this?

Thanks much

Howdy,

Did you attempt to setup Webmin/Virtualmin with that same SSL certificate? Or did you always receive that error when connecting to http://domain.tld:10000?

If you’re trying to use the same SSL cert in Webmin/Virtualmin as you are in Apache, that should work, so something may be awry with the setup there.
