I have the need for a secure server, so I compiled in openssl and have done
everything (i think) according to the manual.

I can't get my server to respond on https - (It responds to ALL http
requests)

Here is the outline:

I can start apache with ssl; it asks for the passphrase and starts up.
I can see it running (httpd -DSSL) using ps
I can see it listening using netstat -a (https)
I created a self-signed certificate
I configured httpd.conf according to all the manuals I could find.
I am running SSL on a NON-NAME-based virtual host

I CAN ONLY connect to the https address FROM THE SERVER using Lynx - ( it is
the only thing that generates entries in the ssl_engine_log)

I can't figure out why I can't connect.

Is it possible that TCP wrappers has any effect??

I am running Linux RedHat 7.2.  I've disabled most tcpd services and I have
set immutable attributes to all binary files and have removed SUID from all
but a couple of files.  Could any of this be causing the problem ???


Confused in Alaska......





Here is the output of the ssl_3engine_log right after doing apachectl
startssl:
