Disable ssl in apache on port 443 - apache

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.

Apache Proxy to Wildfly

I Have configured Both Apache and Wildfly to use AJP in order to achieve the Proxy so i can produce Access-logs
Acccess Logs are Enabled from management profile of Wildfly
Port is listening on 8009
Apache has a Virtual Host listening on port 80
configured with the ProxyPass command.
Access Pattern is configured
and the result is receiving logs that have been proxied but not the original client ip is diplayed but only the loopback of 127.0.0.1
So am asking about a way to reveal the client Ip that requests the Apache Server.
syntax is okay and %a does display the 127.0.0.1
Thanks!
I have tried multiple access patterns (%a,%h,{i,xxx}...
I have tried both X-Forward-For ,X-Forwarded-For on Apache PreserveHost On etc..
I have tried tcpdump the port 8009 receiving 0 packets on the monitoring

127.0.0.1 can't be reached with apache running

I set apache server to run on 8080 and 4433 ports (I changed all the references on 80 port in configuration files as well as all references on 443 port so apache can start). And in XAMPP application it says that apache server is normally running. MySQL server is running as well. There is a solid connection with internet so connection isn't a problem. But when I tried to access 127.0.0.1 this message appeared on display:
This site can’t be reached
127.0.0.1 refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
How to solve this issue?
Apache won't re-read it's config file automatically after you change it so make sure you've restarted the service.
Also enter the url as http://127.0.0.1:8080 so the browser knows to connect on port 8080 rather than 80.

Stopping https port on wsubdomain

I would like to set a server on port 443 to handle safari web notifications. So I would like to disable port 443 from Apache for that subdomain. I tried doing it by removing the web domain from ssl.conf or setting SSLEngine off after putting the domain on port 80, but in all cases when I execute nmap on the domain port 443 always pops up, and when I execute the other service on port 443 I get an error.
How do I manage it?

Wildcard SSL certificate for Tomcat and Apache which both on port 443

I have a wildcard ssl cert for domain "www.abc.com", which running on Apache and using port 80 for http & port 443 for https.
Now, I would like to add a new domain "www2.abc.com", which running on Tomcat and using port 8080 for http & port 443 for https.
Is there any conflicts if I use both on port 443?
Many thanks.
Well, technically you can't have tomcat and apache listen on 443 at the same time. You could have Apache forward requests to tomcat and handle the encryption. Look up mod_jk, mod_proxy or mod_proxy_ajp for how to do this.
Once you do this, you can have multiple <VirtualHost> declarations for port 443 on Apache. If they all use the same wildcard certificate for *.abc.com this will work fine.
With this scenario, tomat probably won't be configured to do ssl at all. I'm recommending to use the protocol ajp (not http) for the forwarding part, as this will forward all necessary information about the nature of the connection to tomcat.
Is there any conflicts if I use both on port 443?
yes, you can't set two or more applications to listen on a same port at the same time.

Browser can't find localhost while Apache and MySQL are up and running

I have reinstalled my Xampp Application, Apache is running on port 443 and 8080, MySQL is running on 3306.
If I go to Localhost, it still gives me a 404 Error while it should give me a message like "You have succesfully installed Xampp!"
What can be the problem?
If you omit the port, http uses port 80 by default and port 443 for https.
So try to call
http://localhost:8080
or
https://localhost
If this does not help you should check the accesslog of your webserver.
