title: Apache SSL Configuration Error (SSL Connection Error)
body: <p>I'm trying to configure <a href="https://www.apache.org/" rel="noreferrer">Apache</a> on my server to work with ssl, but everytime I visit my site, I get the following message in my browser:</p>
  
  <p><strong>SSL connection error.
  Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.
  Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.</strong></p>
  
  <p>The error message above seems to be native to Google Chrome. However, even though the messages are different, ssl for the site is not working on any browser.</p>
  
  <p>Just some background on the situation: I am using <code>Ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I installed <code>apache</code> by installing <code>zend server</code> (<em>it installed apache automatically</em>). 
  I then installed <code>openssl</code>. Non-https pages work fine on the site. <br>
  I tried getting trial certificates from multiple certificate sites but nothing is working (same error).<br>
  I was previously hosting my site on another server on which ssl worked just fine. I also tried using the key and cert file from that server, but I got the same error. </p>
  
  <p>The domain name and IP are still the same though. My <code>SSLCertificateFile</code> and <code>SSLCertificateKeyFile</code> are pointing to the correct directory and files. </p>
  
  <p>I also do not have SSLVerifyClient enabled.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone has any suggestions, it would be most appreciated.</p>
