I tried to install web2py on our web server but I have to access the admin panel through SSL because there is no graphical interface on the server itself.

I'm not very familiar with setting up an Apache server so I haven't been able to get this to work. I did run the setup script for web2py which should set the SSL site up, but when I try to connect I just get "This web page is not available". I can connect to the web2py front page with normal HTTP. I have also tried hacking that a bit but I can't even see any errors or access attempts in the apache2 logs.

I did run

openssl s_client -state -nbio -connect localhost:443 2>&1 |grep "^SSL"

With the following results

SSL_connect:before/connect initialization
SSL_connect:SSLv2/v3 write client hello A
SSL_connect:error in SSLv2/v3 read server hello A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 read server hello A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 read server certificate A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 read server key exchange A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 read server done A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 write client key exchange A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 write change cipher spec A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 write finished A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 flush data
SSL_connect:error in SSLv3 read finished A
SSL_connect:error in SSLv3 read finished A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 read finished A
SSL handshake has read 1435 bytes and written 319 bytes
SSL-Session:
SSL3 alert read:warning:close notify
SSL3 alert write:warning:close notify

Site in question is http://www2.olka.fi and my default-ssl looks like this now:

OK, the issue was actually the Linux firewall. Adding rules for port 443 fixed my issues. So this question can be closed or deleted.
