I am trying to configure Godaddy Wild Card Certificates on a Apache web server.I am getting the following error:

[Thu Jul 23 02:32:42.499991 2015] [mpm_event:notice] [pid 12293:tid 140626762094464] AH00491: caught SIGTERM, shutting down [Thu Jul 23 02:32:43.553475 2015] [ssl:emerg] [pid 12529:tid 139774360311680] AH02240: Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured [Hint: SSLCertificateFile] (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/godaddy-ssl.conf:2) [Thu Jul 23 02:32:43.553518 2015] [ssl:emerg] [pid 12529:tid 139774360311680] AH02311: Fatal error initialising mod_ssl, exiting.

My apache server configuration with redirection for http request to https:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName saasm2m.com ServerAlias saasm2m.com *.saasm2m.com ServerAdmin [email protected] RewriteEngine on ReWriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R,L] </VirtualHost>

My SSL certificate configuration is 

<IfModule mod_ssl.c> <VirtualHost *:443> ServerAdmin saasm2m.com ServerName saasm2m.com ServerAlias *.saasm2m.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined SSLEngine on SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/saasm2m.chained.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/saasm2m.key ServerAdmin [email protected] ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/ ProxyPreserveHost On <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$"> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </FilesMatch> <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </Directory> BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \ nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown </VirtualHost> </IfModule>

I have changed my ports.conf to add Listen 443 http

Listen 80 NameVirtualHost *:80 <IfModule ssl_module> Listen 443 http </IfModule> <IfModule mod_gnutls.c> Listen 443 </IfModule>

Update: If i use this configuration it throws a error :AH00491: caught SIGTERM, shutting down

SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/6eba0aa5c1b8.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/website_ssl.key SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt

I have enabled ssl module by using:sudo a2enmod ssl and activated server configuration files by using sudo a2ensite filename. Can anyone point out how I can fix this error?

Thank you

You need to provide a SSLCertificateFile configuration line in addition to the SSLCertificateKeyFile configuration file.

You have configured one of two options for CA certificates. You may not need either. This may be configured with the file that should be the SSLCertificateFile

GoDaddy provides documentation on installing your certificates. According to that the gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt should be configured with the SSLCACertificatePath parameter. This parameter is called SSLCertificateChainFile in Apache versions before 2.4.8.

  • I have tried adding SSLCertificateFile before it throws this error AH00491: caught SIGTERM, shutting down .I am using Godaddy certificates.They provided two files.6366fe3949c165bc.crt and gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt .Which file I have to refer in SSLCertificateFile. Commented Jul 23, 2015 at 4:39
