I'm having a weird issue with trying to setup SSL (https) on Zend Server CE for OSX. Currently I am running Zend Server 5.5.

$ sudo zendctl.sh version
Password:
Zend Server version: 5.5.0

I created a self-signed certificate in the correct directory using this:

$ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout server.key -out server.crt \
> -days 365 -nodes

I already uncommented this out in my httpd.conf:

# Secure (SSL/TLS) connections
Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

And I added this to my httpd-vhost.conf file:

NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443

And these are my vhost conf for the site (I'm trying to use one directory for both SSL and port 80 requests):

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/zend/apache2/htdocs/mydomain.com
    ServerName mydomain.local
    AllowEncodedSlashes On
</VirtualHost>

#this is the HTTPS version
<VirtualHost mydomain.local:443>
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/zend/apache2/htdocs/mydomain.com
    ServerName mydomain.local:443
    AllowEncodedSlashes On
</VirtualHost>

When I try to load the site in my browser (FF) using https://mydomain.local/ I get this:

The connection was interrupted The connection to mydomain.local was interrupted while the page was loading.

So I tried this with the openssl command:

$ openssl s_client -connect mydomain.local:443
CONNECTED(00000003)
20743:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:/SourceCache/OpenSSL098/OpenSSL098-35.1/src/ssl/s23_clnt.c:607:

Additionally, I can get to the site by going to http://mydomain.local:443 but not https.

What does this error mean? Why can't I load my site with HTTPS?

You need to setup SSL for your VHost on :443...

SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile      /path/to/crt.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile   /path/to/key.key

  • Yep that did it! Epic fail. I didn't realize that had to go right in the vhost conf for that domain. You're the man thanks!
