Question

http server port 443 not active

Asked by: jstretch

(Windows XP, OAS 10.1.2) I have setup my HTTP server for SSL using enterprise manager. Right now its listening to port 80 and 443. It was working when I initially configured it and accepting the certificate chain I established. But after a reboot the server has stopped listening to port 443. I've tried restarting the service and http server but no luck. I also ran netstat -a to see if port 443 was used by another service but it seems to be available.

HTTP Server entires when clicking on 'Ports':
Oracle HTTP Server      Diagnostic      7200       7200-7299      
Oracle HTTP Server      Listen                 80         80;7777-7877      
Oracle HTTP Server      Listen (SSL)                   443;4443-4543      <-- no value for port in use column

Virtual Hosts:

Please make sure that the default firewall of Windows XP SP2 IS OFF!
Also all other firewalls (Micro Trend personal firewall, etc) should be stopped.

I added port 443 to the windows firewall exceptions earlier and it did not help. I did however make progress. Reading the documentation (9.2.2 Task 2: Enabling SSL) I found that I had to enable ssl in OPMN.xml config file and restart the server. The port 443 is now active, however when I make a request the following error pops up in the log:

[Mon Jan 14 10:00:13 2008] [error] mod_ossl: SSL call to NZ function nzos_Handshake failed with error 28864 (server holsteadj:443, client
  10.26.176.79)
[Mon Jan 14 10:00:13 2008] [error] mod_ossl: SSL IO error [Hint: the client stop the connection unexpectedly]

I did a little googling but didn't find much. I did check to make sure that Auto Login IS CHECKED in my wallet. Any suggestions appreciated.

Once again I seemed to have solved my own question. It works in IE but I was using firefox for debugging and SSL3 was disabled. Going into about:config and enabling ssl3 did the trick!
