  1. POAccessing apache on a vagrant sandbox using ssl (port forwarding)
    text
    copied!<p>I've built a vagrant/virtualbox web server as a development sandbox, and configured apache in the VM for ssl (on the default port 443, with a self-signed certificate). I've tested pages on the VM itself using curl </p> <pre><code>curl -v -k https://mysite.mydomain.com/testSearch/results?postcode=WN8+0BA </code></pre> <p>and it seems to work quite happily, so I'm satisfied that apache is correctly configured and working in the VM.</p> <p>However, when I try to access the VM from my host's browsers over https, I'm unable to do so.</p> <p>I've added </p> <pre><code>config.vm.forward_port "https", 443, 8443 </code></pre> <p>to my vagrantfile, but trying to access the url</p> <pre><code>https://mysite.mydomain.com:8443/testSearch/results?postcode=WN8+0BA </code></pre> <p>simply can't display the page I've tried with several different browsers: IE gives a meaningless "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"; Chrome gives</p> <pre><code>SSL connection error Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have. Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error. </code></pre> <p>Firefox gives me</p> <pre><code>An error occurred during a connection to mysite.mydomain.com:8443. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long) </code></pre> <p>but even the Firebug Net tab doesn't tell me anything more than that.</p> <p>I'm not getting anything in the access or error logs on the VM apache, so I suspect that vagrant isn't forwarding the ssl at all.</p> <ul> <li>VM Guest OS: centos56x64 </li> <li>Host: Windows 7 64-bit </li> <li>JRuby: 1.6.3 (ruby-1.8.7-p330) (2011-07-07 965162f) (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.6.0_24) [Windows 7-amd64-java]</li> <li>Vagrant: 0.7.8 </li> <li>VirtualBox: 4.0.12</li> </ul> <p>Any assistance would be gratefully accepted.</p>
