I am running a NodeJS app on apache and using mod_proxy to forward requests on 443 to the nodeJS app.
This works fine on port 80, but when I try to set it up for port 443, I get the following error in apache:
[error] Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured [Hint: SSLCertificateFile] ((null):0)
It appears that this error is caused because I am trying to listen on port 443 in apache but not providing an ssl certificate… but I dont need to as my NodeJS app is performing the SSL.
How can I tell apache to ignore this error?
What you are trying cannot work. A client connecting to port 443 will speak HTTPS/SSL – so the application that handles the connection needs to use SSL for connections on that port.
