Bug#576235: apache2: secure connection failed: SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

[Julian Gilbey <jdg@debian.org>]

Package: apache2-mpm-prefork
Version: 2.2.15-2
Severity: important

I have installed this version of apache2 from testing, and now when I
try to connect to https://localhost/, I get the weird error message:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to localhost.

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)


Any clue what might be going on or how I could fix it?
