Problem with SSL

Rails Deployment
1

Hello all,

I am really in a pickle, and I need some help. I am running a small
internal app on RoR and our network guy needs all authentication to
run over SSL.

I have read some docs online, but there are very few examples
involving my setup. I could install mongrel and follow some better
examples, but I am hesitant because this app is in a production
environment

I have the SSL portion running fine, however trying to access my app
barfs out 404 errors. I do however get the “Welcome to Rails screen”
but the following error pops up when clicking the “About your
application’s environment”

Not Found

The requested URL /rails/info/properties was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at Port 443

The non-SSL is working fine. Here’s my apache conf file

NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443

VirtualHost example:

Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.

The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known

#lHost *:80>

SSLOptions +StdEnvVars

BrowserMatch “.MSIE.”
nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown

The details:
Apache 2.0
FastCGI
Red Hat EL 4.0

My gut feeling is it may be a permission issue, but would like a
second opinion.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated and let me know if you require
anything else

Thanks,

Seth.

UPDATE: Please ignore. I got it to work. Find below my revised
VirtualHost setup. Seems I might have had the wrong name for the
servername. DOH!
Now it matches what is in the certificate.
