Hi, I am trying to setup the SSL for my site. i am using apache as webserver and mongrel cluster as application server and Ubuntu as server OS. I have configured my apache server for the SSL setup as per the certificate files i got from Go daddy. I configure apache server according to below link. [http://www.williambharding.com/blog/rails/ultimate-guide-to-setup-ssl-on-rails-and-apache-2-with-ubuntu-seasoning/](http://www.williambharding.com/blog/rails/ultimate-guide-to-setup-ssl-on-rails-and-apache-2-with-ubuntu-seasoning/) After configuring all the things and restarting apache when i am hitting url in browser as “Network Timeout” with page load error. Checking at apache error log getting error as "caught SIGWINCH, shutting down gracefully Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1 with Suhosin-Patch mod\_ssl/ 2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g configured – resuming normal operations " Checking the application log getting error as “Filter chain halted as [#\] returned\_false.” Does anyone come across same issue ? Thanks in Adavance. Piyush. ---

Do you have this in your Apache server virtual host file? RequestHeader set X\_ORIGINAL\_PROTOCOL ‘https’ Mongrel, by design, does not do SSL. Redirects from inside the cluster will perforce become http. I do not know if this is your issue or not but it might be a place to start. Good luck and please report back how you solve it. ---

James is on to something but you could also remove mongrel from the mix and just test a plain html or gif. How do you have it configured between apache and mongrel? ProxyPass ? Do you have the ssl plugin installed? ---

Your apache’s bin directory includes `apachectl` – run it without any args to get a list of args; you’ll probably be interested in trying several of them ( -l, -t for instance). ## HTH, Hassan S. ------------------------ removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

Hey, i tried with various ways doing apache configuration for ssl and still same issue persist. i feel that i do not have mod\_ssl installed or its not matching with my apache version. i am not sure about i have installed mod\_ssl or not and not able to find it out also. some of the thins i got related with mod\_ssl in my system is given below. I have /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod\_ssl.so file here. i have mod\_ssl module enabled in apache. I have ubuntu flavour of linux and my apache version is 2.2.8. Right now my site is up without ssl and configuring apache with ssl giving me this error: “caught SIGWINCH, shutting down gracefully Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1 with Suhosin-Patch mod\_ssl/ 2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g configured – resuming normal operations” Can anyone tell me how to find out the ssl is installed here? What is going wrong here and need to be done to get ssl work? Thanks, Piyush.
