Hi, I am having trouble setting up SSL on a website. I have followed the SSL setup instructions, pretty straight forward, and verified that my certificate is working correctly using various cert checkers online. The problem is that when I try to access https://mydomain.com.au i get redirected to the apache test page. When I try to access any specific page ( https://mydomain.com.au/anypage ) I get a Forbidden error. My server has been setup using "The Perfect Server - CentOS 6.4 x86_64". The only log error I can find is in ssl_error_log: "client denied by server configuration: /var/www/mydomain.com.au/web" Any ideas? Thanks, Dave.
The "client denied by server configuration" error is most likely due to an misconfigured .htaccess or vhost/apache config. One possibility is, that one of the directories /var/www /var/www/mydomain.com.au has "deny from all" set. Try to check the vhost of your domain if there is a directive for access control like "Order deny,allow" etc. If your mentioned path /var/www/mydomain.com.au is NOT a symlink you might want to try adding something like this to your vhost file: <Directory /var/www/mydomain.com.au/web> Order deny,allow allow from all </Directory> Maybe this already solves the issue.
