Hi all,

I've just successfully installed an SSL certificate on my server (I get no reboot errors when I restart apache2 server and also when I type in the URL with the https I can see the green lock symbol which I can click and see corresponds to my certificate).

The problem is that when I use the https protocol I get an error:
https://www.mifujiclark.com/

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Open in new window

When I use the http protocol I get the right page:
http://www.mifujiclark.com

What am I doing wrong here?

thanks in advance.

P.S. Here is my site's conf file from the apache2 sites enabled folder:

# domain: mifujiclark.com
# public: /home/myfolder/public/mifujiclark.com/public

<VirtualHost *:443>
  SSLEngine On
  SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
  SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM

Is the domain set up in httpd-ssl.conf ?

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I use Apache2 on Ubuntu. I don't see a httpd-ssl.conf.
I see a default-ssl.conf file. Do I need to add something to it?
If so could you please help me with the syntax?
Also the default-ssl.conf file at the moment I see it only in the sites-available folder and not in the sites-enabled folder.
Do I need to make a shortcut to it there?

thanks in advance

I solved it myself by adding:

ExpiresActive on

ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 year"

ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month"

ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 month"

ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 month"

<Directory /home/myfolder/public/mifujiclark.com/public>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>

Secure your server NOW:
SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
must become
SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3
(ssl3 is broken)
And
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM
must become
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:!3DES
(3des is effectively 112bit cypher)
