[EP-tech] Error while enabling SSL

[drn at ecs.soton.ac.uk (David R Newman)]

Hi Sonu,

You may not have SSL enabled on your Apache webserver or you may have 
not put eprints-ssl.conf in the right place.? I have several 
questions/comments, which should allow me to help you fix this.

1. What Linux operating system are you running? (a2ensite is usually 
only a command for Apache on Debian/Ubuntu system.? So my assumption 
would be one of them.? However, the specific version of Debian / Ubuntu 
you are running would be useful to know as well).

2. Where did you put the eprints-ssl.conf file? (Normally, I would 
expect you to put this in /etc/apache2/sites-available/).

3. Have you tried running (as the root user): "apache2ctl configtest", 
does that report any issues.? (It should just say "Syntax OK" if there 
are no problems.? If you are not running Debian or Ubuntu the command 
you need may be "apachectl configtest").

4. Please could you show me the output of the following command (run as 
the root user):

source /etc/apache2/envvars && apache2 -S

(If you are not running Debian or Ubuntu you may need to run the 
command: httpd -S).

5.? If you are running Debian or Ubuntu it is worth running the 
following command as the root user to make sure SSL is enabled.

 ? a2enmod ssl

After running that command you will need to restart the webserver (e.g. 
apache2ctl restart) to check if it has worked from your web browser.

Regards

David Newman
