Can't access freshly installed Virtualmin ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Hello!

This is my second time installing virtualmin. The first time I installed LAMP first in centOS 7, then installed virtualmin. Everything was working fine. But I messed up some configuration, so I decided to do a fresh installation of virtualmin in freshly installed centOS 7 as the documentation says.

I was following this tutorial: https://hostpresto.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-virtualmin-on-... I did not do anything outside the tutorial (to clarify that I did not mess up the server again).

Problem I can't access virtualmin using https://myserver.example.com:10000/ The browser shows SSL protocol error. And wouldn't let me any option to access the site by disabling security.

This site can’t provide a secure connection myserver.example.com sent an invalid response. Try running Windows Network Diagnostics. ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

But i was able to access it after disabling SSL by modifying miniserv.conf

What I want I want to be able to login to the server using SSL. I believe the httpd.conf can help solve the issue but that's not what I am good at.

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Howdy -- what you may want to try doing, is to enable the "SSL Website" feature for one of the domains added into Virtualmin. Then, go into Server Configuration -> Website Options, and click the "Copy to Webmin" button.

That will copy over the newly created SSL certificate.

You could also try the same with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which wouldn't generate a browser warning.

However, it looks like you're using Virtualmin GPL there, the area here is for folks using Virtualmin Pro.

It's no problem to receive support, but the best place to do that is using the Forums. We monitor the Forums, along with lots of wonderful folks in the community. Thanks!

Thank you very much @andreychek I followed your suggestions. My problem is now resolved.

I found this website with google search: virtualmin+issue+tracker". I was expecting a github issue tracker since this is a GPL version. I didn't know this site is for pro only.

You got admirable work attitude! Your support made me want to subscribe to virtualmin pro. Keep up the good work, god bless you.

It's just the support tracker that's for folks using Virtualmin Pro, we also host Forums here designed for everyone! You can access those using the "Forums" link above.

I'm glad to hear that helped though, have a good weekend!
