HTTPS on localhost not working

I just followed the steps for using SSL on localhost: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-ubuntu-14-04

But when i access https://localhost, i get this message:

Page Web inaccessible

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I'm using Apache2 with Ubuntu trusty on Vagrant.

Let me know if you want more informations.

Thank's

The problem could be due to Apache performing a reverse DNS lookup on the URL - the result of which does not match any of your PC's aliases.

Try https://127.0.0.1 or https://<hostname>.

There are three possibilities about this message:

  • Your self-signed certificate is invalid for some reason. Please see your Apache error log.

  • Your Apache SSL/TLS protocols do not match with those of your browser. Try something like the following from a command prompt: openssl s_client -connect localhost:443 to test the SSL/TLS connection. Please update your question with the output.

  • May be there is a firewall between your browser and your Apache server?
