Help on first using mod_ssl

[Zaka Ferenc]

Hi Everybody!   I'm a newbie in using mod_ssl (and other SSL products too). I downloaded the Apache 1.3.9, the mod_ssl 2.4.0-1.3.9, and OpenSSL 0.9.4. I installed them by following the INSTALL instructions. All worked fine. Then I needed to test it. I tried to access my server via http then it worked fine too, I saw the Apache manual in the browser's window.   BUT! When I tried to access via https the browser lied something like these: - Cannot communicate with server - Server returns an invalid response - No common encryption method between the server and browser - etc depending on the browser type and version. (I tried it with the newest Netscape and Explorer too.)   I looked at the ssl engine log file, and I saw this (from the starting of server) :   [24/Aug/1999 12:22:11] [info]  Server: Apache/1.3.9, Interface: mod_ssl/2.4.0, Library: OpenSSL/0.9.4 [24/Aug/1999 12:22:11] [info]  Init: 1st startup round (still not detached) [24/Aug/1999 12:22:11] [info]  Init: Initializing OpenSSL library [24/Aug/1999 12:22:11] [info]  Init: Loading certificate & private key of SSL-aware server lucifer.egis.hu:443 [24/Aug/1999 12:22:11] [info]  Init: 2nd startup round (already detached) [24/Aug/1999 12:22:11] [info]  Init: Reinitializing OpenSSL library [24/Aug/1999 12:22:11] [info]  Init: Seeding PRNG with 8 bytes of entropy [24/Aug/1999 12:22:11] [info]  Init: Generating temporary RSA private keys (512/1024 bits) [24/Aug/1999 12:22:14] [info]  Init: Configuring temporary DH parameters (512/1024 bits) [24/Aug/1999 12:22:14] [info]  Init: Initializing (virtual) servers for SSL [24/Aug/1999 12:22:14] [info]  Init: Configuring server lucifer.egis.hu:443 for SSL protocol [24/Aug/1999 12:24:24] [info]  Connection to child 1 established (server lucifer.egis.hu:443) [24/Aug/1999 12:24:26] [error] SSL handshake failed (client 192.168.221.198, server lucifer.egis.hu:443) OpenSSL library error follows) [24/Aug/1999 12:24:26] [error] OpenSSL: error:1408A0C1:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:no shared cipher   I couldn't find similar error message in the FAQ. What have I done wrong? Or what manual page must I read? :-)   Tanx....
