Using mono with ssl in apache - apache

Question

I have the following problem:
I want to access a mono application via ssl. I want it to be not accessible without ssl.
I am using apache2.4 and mod-mono-server4.exe 3.0.0.0
At the moment I have a working configuration like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/my-mono-app
#SSLEngine on
#SSLCertificateFile /path/to/key.pem
#SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key.pem
MonoAutoApplication disabled
MonoServerPath my-mono-app "/usr/bin/mod-mono-server4"
MonoApplications my-mono-app "/my-mono-app:/srv/www/htdocs/my-mono-app"
<Directory /srv/www/htdocs/my-mono-app>
Require all granted
MonoSetServerAlias my-mono-app
SetHandler mono
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
But as soon as I turn the SSLEngine on and change the port to 443 it does not work anymore. It just says: Object not found! if i navigate to the address.
It does not record any errors in the logs.
Can you help me with this please?
PS: Here is the complete not working configuration:
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/my-mono-app
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/key.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key.pem
MonoAutoApplication disabled
MonoServerPath my-mono-app "/usr/bin/mod-mono-server4"
MonoApplications my-mono-app "/my-mono-app:/srv/www/htdocs/my-mono-app"
<Directory /srv/www/htdocs/my-mono-app>
Require all granted
MonoSetServerAlias my-mono-app
SetHandler mono
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I used mono 5.x once. From that experience what I can recall, mod_mono.conf needed modification for directory path. I reached that solution from Apache access and error logs. I tried many ways before that searching the whole earth - symlinking, purge installation and building from source etc. You may try my way keeping a backup of mod_mono.conf.
<IfModule !mono_module>
LoadModule mono_module "libexec/apache2/mod_mono.so"
</IfModule>
<IfModule mono_module>
AddType application/x-asp-net .config .cs .csproj .dll .resources .resx .sln .vb .vbproj
AddType application/x-asp-net .asax .ascx .ashx .asmx .aspx .axd .browser .licx .master .rem .sitemap .skin .soap .webinfo
MonoAutoApplication enabled
MonoDebug true
MonoServerPath "/usr/bin/mod-mono-server4"
MonoSetEnv LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
MonoUnixSocket "/tmp/.mod_mono"
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex Default.aspx
</IfModule>
<DirectoryMatch "/(bin|App_Code|App_Data|App_GlobalResources|App_LocalResources)/">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</DirectoryMatch>
<Location "/my-mono-app">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1 ::1
SetHandler mono-ctrl
</Location>
</IfModule>
It was too bigger to write as comment, it is possibly not 100% warranted answer, depends on your try. That thing in your config is correct :
Require all granted
MonoSetServerAlias my-mono-app
SetHandler mono
Without that stanza odd errors appear.
