IE randomly aborts request to Apache server

I'm very new to Apache configurations. Recently i found an issue in our website while loading it through IE10 & 11 browsers. While i load the website using https some of the requests are frequently & randomly aborted. After long search i found below article.

Article 1

Article 2

They asked to remove below code from ssl.conf

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
         nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
         downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

As per the post, i removed those lines and restarted server using below command.

sudo apachectl restart

But still IE issue with https is there. ssl.conf file is under conf.d directory. Should i do anything else for this change to take effect?

The SSL workaround for MS Internet Explorer needs to be added to your SSL VirtualHost section (it was previously in ssl.conf but caused keepalive to be disabled even for non-SSL connections):

BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \
    nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
    downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown

I know this isn't exactly the best answer possible, but you should consider using nginx and php5-fpm. It's much faster than Apache2.. and it would (most likely) fix your problem. Although it may take you some time to setup the right configs for a fresh install of nginx.
