Longview problem collecting data from Apache

Ubuntu 14.04, Apache2

Server directs everything over to ssl / 443

My Longview for Apache is giving me fits:

Unable to access local server status for Apache at https://127.0.0.1/server-status?auto: 500 write failed: Bad file descriptor

I've followed the instructions on ~~[https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/longview/longview-app-for-apache" target="_blank">](https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/lo … for-apache">https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/longview/longview-app-for-apache]( but I can't seem to make it work.

The instructions say to alter the httpd.conf file, but I can't find that file on the server. The equivalent seems to be /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf

I've added the following text to the configuration file, reloaded apache and longview

> ExtendedStatus On

SetHandler server-status

Order deny,allow

Deny from all

Allow from 127.0.0.1

But the error remains.

If the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf is not the right file, can someone tell me which one it is? I've also tried the 000-default.conf.

what am I missing?
