Firefox: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG












0















I know this has been asked before, but have there been any changes recently?



My server machine runs under Ubuntu-18.04 Server (+ lxde).

It has apache-2.4.29 with 2 domains, both with http and https.

It also has a mail server, citadel-917, which has its own webserver for webmail.

At boot up apache2 should use ports 80 and 443, and citadel should use 8080 and 8081.



But Firefox-65.0 gets "Secure Connection Failed. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG"

despite "sudo systemctl restart apache2" working without errors and opening port 443.

How can Apache2 and Firefox produce no intelligible error messages when it the system not working?

And how do I fix it? or even find out what is wrong?



I have updated my LetsEncrypt certificates and stared at the conf files and they all look OK.

I have done "apachectl configtest" and it says "syntax OK".

"netstat -nlp" shows port 80 and 443 are listening, but only for tcp6, not tcp, is this right?

gufw-report shows 443 applies to both TCP and TCP(v6).

/var/log/apache2/error.log is OK.

I have had this working before a recent clean install after a new SSD had a boot sector virus.
