SSL installed but Apache throws 500 Internal Error

[InteractM]

I have installed SSL certificate using WHM but when goes to the https connection Apache throws 500 Internal Error

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

And httpd.conf for SSL part:

    # To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location
    # Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/ssl/2/nobody/mydomain.com/*.conf"

</VirtualHost>

Any clue?

Thanks

This is what I'm getting when tail error_log

Also it says:

[Fri Apr 12 15:01:29 2013] [warn] VirtualHost 10.38.10.10:443 overlaps with VirtualHost 10.38.10.10:443, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive

Just want to confirm,

Is your website working fine without https ?

From the log it seems to be a permission issue. Make sure to chmod 644 to your index.php and check the ownership.

Cheers!!!

 

[InteractM]

Yes, http works fine. As this is a shared IP (same site but production and staging) I have installed cert as nobody.

 

[arunsv84]

For SSL you need a dedicated ip. How many sites are there in server? You should use nobody for server hostname.

 

[InteractM]

As mentioned above - there are two sites - production and staging. So I should to create new account as nobody?

Also I was able to get this to work somehow following that http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/ssl-cert-500-internal-server-error-162653.html#post680878 but under https there are missing pieces of the site like JavaScript files and CSS.

This means that the file "/home/my/public_html/index.php" and the user trying to use it is UID 99, which is "nobody".

Seems you have installed the certificate for the user "nobody", why is that?

<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
        suPHP_UserGroup nobody nobody
</IfModule>

EDIT:
Ok I didn't read everything...
If you want to use this certificate for the domain Domain.com to access another site, say Anotherdomain.com, using SSL, you only can do it by using: https://Domain.com/~cPanelUsernameOfTheOtherSite

 

[InteractM]

OK, it looks like I have fixed issue with SSL and missing pieces of the website.

SSL - I have followed those steps: http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/ssl-cert-500-internal-server-error-162653.html#post680878
Missing CSS or JS - it looks like ExpressionEngine by default doesn't support HTTPS :\
