Change SSL port

Submitted by michael.massey on Fri, 04/09/2010 - 3:41pm

How would I go about changing the port for SSL for the main website.

I enabled SSL in the admin console but I would like to change it from 443 to another port.

I tried changing it in ports.conf (both leaving 443 and removing it)
and restarting aphache.

However I get the following error.

ssl_error_rx_record_too_long ...

any ideas....

Hello Michael,
We will write a FAQ on this topic and post a link to it here, but this will be done when we have some free time, so it may be a day or two. Right offhand, I think if the only thing you changed was the ports.conf file ... you missed the virtual hosts entries as well. This wiki page describes the JumpBox apache file layout:

I think you would also need to change the virtual host definitions for port 443 in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.*
