Setting up SSL for Drupal

[trebor]

I access my drupal install via the internet. I need to set up SSL. I have Amahi 7 on Fedora 19. I followed the Wiki instructions for: Secure App Access.

As instructed I edited my drupal.conf file. I could not start service httpd with the line:

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

so I changed it to:

Options ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

With this change I could start service httpd; however, I get the following error:

500 Internal Server Error

Internal Server Error

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

Please contact the server administrator at root@localhost to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.


Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
-Robert

Perhaps I should clarify. I have successfully opened drupal to the internet by forwarding the appropriate ports and making the appropriate changes to my Amahi install as instructed by the Wiki on how to do this. This part is working fine.

In my previous post I wrote:

500 Internal Server Error

This should read:

With this change I could start service httpd; however, when I try to access my drupal site via the internet, http is successfully rewritten to https, but I get the following error:

500 Internal Server Error

Hope this helps clarify my situation.

Thanks,

The guidance you followed is not for Amahi 7. You might try changing the lines after the <directory> tag to:

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted

Then restart httpd. If that does not work, then I am afraid you will have to check Google or try to figure it out on your own.

The guidance in the wiki is provided by users, often not updated as OS versions change. If you would like to update it to reflect Amahi 7 guidance, we would greatly appreciate it.

If this did not help, then it may be a problem with Fedora 19. We were informed yesterday that there were some SSL updates made by the OS. It's being reported to cause problems with SSL connections and not just with Amahi. Will post more as we receive it.
