[SOLVED]apache ssl not responding

[ervalerio]

hello,
i'm quite new to apache config issues, and I came out with a bad one for me: i need to setup it to setup so that it can serve svn repositories through https. I followed many tutorials, specific for my distribution (ubuntu/breezy).

I ended up with the following configuration for the site-available/ssl:

NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName localhost.localdomain
 
        DocumentRoot /var/www/ssl
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options  FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
                # This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
                # in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
                # Commented out for Ubuntu
                #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
        </Directory>
 
        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                AllowOverride None
                Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>
 
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
 
        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel debug
        SSLEngine On
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
 
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
        ServerSignature On
 
        <location /svn>
                DAV svn
                SVNParentPath /var/lib/svn
                AuthType Basic
                AuthName "Svn Repositories"
                AuthUserFile /var/www/trac/.htpasswd
                Require valid-user
        </location>
 
</VirtualHost>

something must be wrong because the machine is not responding.
I added Listen 443 to posts.conf

I created a self-signed certifate, as explained here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/forum/server/apache2/SSL

Also, to test that Apache is actually working with https, if I connect to https://localhost
i get the right page I'm expecting.

As second proof, I also tried logging through openssl, and i can see the correct handshaking messages as shown here: http://rafb.net/paste/results/JY7UYI83.html

So, i don't reallly know where to look at..probably this has something to do with basic apache setup, but my knowledge doesn't help me much.

Any help will very appreciated!

i just discovered this:

sudo netstat -atunl | grep ':443'
tcp6       0      0 :::443                  :::*                    LISTEN

so the problem comes from the IPv6 protocol being used...

Did you solve this? It sounds to me like Apache is properly configured if you get the appropriate page at https://localhost. Are you having trouble connecting from the local machine or from a remote one? If it's a remote one can you get to https://ServerIP and get the right page or is that not working from remote machines either. Or is it just SVN that can't connect. I guess I'm not clear on exactly what isn't working.

i solved the problem.
the apache conf was fine.
it was a problem with iptables, where a missing ACCEPT for port 443 was apparetly missing :-)

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you got it working.
