Question
SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number

Asked by felixwenzel73
Hi, I followed the following tutorial:
to install a cert, that I bought via Namecheap using Apache.
This has been useful, but I keep getting the error I mentioned above, when I do:
curl --verbose --insecure https://[mydomain].de
I can always replicate the problem, when I log onto https://[mydomain].de I am getting an error in the Chrome browser:
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
I should say that I’m new to installing certs, so it may well be a simple error.
Many thanks
Felix

Hi there,
Did you specify the
listen 443 ssl;directive in the server block where you’ve defined the SSL certificate?If so, would you mind sharing the complete Nginx server block that you currently have so I could take a quick look?
Best,
Bobby
