I have purchased a SSL certificate from namecheap.com. I am trying to install it on a server running Ubuntu 14.04 and Apache. I used the following tutorial to setup Apache https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts. The server has a pre existing site that is running on HTTP only.
The site makes use of two subdomains admin.example.com and api.example.com so I purchased a wildcard certificate.
I have installed the certificates in accordance to the certificate authority and have modified the Apache config example.com.conf to add the SSL virtual host, I still want the non HTTPS pages to work so I left the existing port 80 config and added the new virtual host host config below.
I restarted Apache and try and view the page via https but get the following error code from firefox (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
I have tried the fixes mentioned in this post with no success https://www.digicert.com/ssl-support/apache-fix-common-ssl-errors.htm#SSLRecordLength
I have also checked that the firewall has port 443 open.
