Issue with SSL Certificates with Apache on Debian

At first look at Apache error logs

Is Apache running? If you run sudo netstat -lvpnut you should get something like the following:

Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name
. . .
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      4049/apache2
. . .

If you don't see something listening on port 80, then Apache isn't running.

Hi Vance

I am not configuring Apache to use the SSL Certificate anymore but please, could you look at the following and advise me if things look OK. If not, what is wrong and how do I fix it? Thanks

'sudo netstat -lvpnut' command outputs the following:

Everything looks good here. If you had your server still trying to serve an SSL certificate you'd see an entry for :::443, but as you got rid of the SSL configuration there is no issue.

If you try running the SSL certificate again, set the directory block for your SSL enabled site to be "", setting your IP address before the colon.

Good luck!

Brilliant! thanks for the reply, this gave me some reassurance
