I have create a self signed SSL Certificate for testing purpose and I have configure the generated certificate with my virtual hosts file. But when I tried to access my domainname.com with https://mydomainname.com its not working. Mozilla gives the error page "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at mydomainname.com.". I have window vista machine. And my virtual hosts file is as follows.

Virtual hosts file :

<IfDefine SSL>
    <VirtualHost mydmainnamw.com:80>


    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile C:/Program Files (x86)/ApacheSoftwareFoundation/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt 
    SSLCertificateKeyFile C:/Program Files (x86)/ApacheSoftwareFoundation/conf/ssl.key/server.key

    SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
    CustomLog logs/ssl_request_log \
    "%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b"

    </VirtualHost>
</IfDefine>

Is anything wrong with my virtual host file? please reply me as soon as possible. thank you.

Yes, you're trying to run HHTPS over port 80 (per the virtual hosts definition) which isn't going to work very well when the rest of the world uses port 443.

Yeah, you'll want another VirtualHost on something besides port 80. When you type "https" the browser is defaulting to port 443, and doesn't find anything. It may actually work if you typed https:// blahblah.com:80 , but that's pretty silly. – Brian Feb 25 '11 at 15:32
