SSL (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

SSL (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
I think I royally messed up trying to set up letsencrypt and ssl on my server. I was able to enable mod_ssl and install letsencrypt. However, I didn't follow the Sentora instructions for obtaining a certificate -- I followed the instructions provided by letsencrypt using --apache instead of --standalone. Of course it didn't work. So THEN I went back to the Sentora documentation and tried to follow those instructions. I revoked the existing certificate and then reissued using cert-only --standalone. However it asked if I wanted to use the existing cert or revoke/renew or something like that so I chose the renew. Then I carefully followed all the instructions provided in the documentation.

Now NONE of my sites on the server work and neither will the Sentora panel. If I try http://larlee.uniquelyyourshosting.biz I get the following message:
Code:
Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.
Apache Server at larlee.uniquelyyourshosting.biz Port 443

But if I try https://larlee.uniquelyyourshosting.biz, I get the following:



Code:
Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to larlee.uniquelyyourshosting.biz. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.



I am going to have a VERY upset client if I can't fix this! Port 443 is open. What have I done wrong and how can I fix this?  I need to secure the server only and allow domains to work with http. Later, I may add SSL for specific domains, but not now.

Thank you!!

RE: SSL (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
If you check (using SSH) /etc/sentora/configs/apache/httpd-vhosts.conf is there a LISTEN 443 near the top?
Or, just post up you httpd-vhosts.conf file so we can review it.

RE: SSL (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
change them all except the first one for sentora login because that one is currently loading the SSL certificate OR also remove the SSL custom vhost entry for the panel login. this should get you back online so you can log into your panel and undo your changes to the apache port override.

RE: SSL (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
THANK YOU! I am now able to log into the control panel! I don't understand what happened. As instructed in the documentation for setting up SSL using letsencrypt, I made the following change to the Global Sentora Entry:

Code:
SSLEngine on
SSLProtocol ALL -SSLv2 -SSLv3
SSLHonorCipherOrder On
SSLCipherSuite ECDH+AESGCM:DH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:DH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES:ECDH+3DES:DH+3DES:RSA+AESGCM:RSA+AES:RSA+3DES:!aNULL:!MD5:!DSS
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/larlee.uniquelyyourshosting.biz/cert.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/larlee.uniquelyyourshosting.biz/privkey.pem
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/larlee.uniquelyyourshosting.biz/chain.pem
# Keeping bellow for future upgrades.
# Requires Apache >= 2.4
SSLCompression off
I made NO changes to Global VHost Entry, or to any of the individual vhosts. I have now deleted the above and changed the port back to 80 and saved changes.

Now, what do I need to do to get SSL to work? I really would like to have my server secured.

As I mentioned, you changed the Apache port, not the Sentora port. (In phpMyAdmin sentora_core > x_settings line 121 sentora_port). Re-add the SSL stuff in the Sentora Global Entry and edit the above line to 443 and do a full daemon run.
