Hello,

My server is running CentOS 7 and need help getting the entire site running under SSL. Ideally I would like to have a SSL certificate installed into apache. So far I have created a new certificate using openssl and installed it into apache however when I try to access my site using HTTPS I get an Unable to Connect error. I realize that using this certificate is a self-signed certificate.

I have done a lot of google searching trying to find a good guide on how to do this to no avail. A lot of what I'm finding are people saying to only the .htaccess file but I have tried that with the same error.

So my last hope is that someone in the community can point me in the direction of a good guide on how to do this. I know there are Drupal sites that have this implemented so I know its possible.

Thanks!

Is Apache running on ports 80 and 443 (and is not behind a revers proxy like Varnish?).

I would first get the virtual host for ssl working for a static file. Put an index.html with 'Hello world' in the document root. If you cannot get that page using https, you know it is not a Drupal problem. If it does work, then check that php works for example by putting a phpinfo.php file (i.e. <?php phpinfo(); ?>) in document root and checking that works. Only when you know these things work, put Drupal in the document root. This allows you to narrow down what you are debugging.
