Yosemite 10.10.5 Update Disabled Apache

I've just updated Yosemite on a MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010) from v 10.10.4 to 10.10.5 and now my local development environment is disabled.


Some sites I've researched and changes I've adopted:


Self-signed SSL Certificate on Mac Yosemite

http://brianflove.com/2014/12/01/self-signed-ssl-certificate-on-mac-yosemite/

- created working SSL Certificates and configured Apache to use them


Local SSL websites on Mac OSX

https://gist.github.com/jonathantneal/774e4b0b3d4d739cbc53

- made changes to httpd-vhosts.conf


Fix broken Apache config after Upgrading to OS X Yosemite

http://www.thermalexposure.com/2014/11/14/fix-broken-apache-config-after-upgradi ng-to-os-x-yosemite/

- made changes to httpd-vhosts.conf


Apache issues after upgrade to Mac OS X Yosemite (see comments by 'nicholos')

http://enzolutions.com/articles/2014/10/19/apache-issues-after-upgrade-to-mac-os -x-yosemite/

- made changes to httpd-vhosts.conf


After any change, I did a '$ sudo apachectl configtest', and confirmed a 'Syntax OK' before moving on, then a '$ sudo apachectl -k restart'.


After checking both the Apache error_log and the local development site error_log multiple times and resolving any errors after changes, I do not see any errors.


Now I stuck with, "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete," even though this was not a problem before the Yosemite v10.10.5 Update.


Does anyone have a working solution? Thanks

Hi.


I had a similar issue; it was due to the location of the server.crt file changing in this 10.10.5 update.


To fix I edited the /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-ssl.conf file and changed the line from


SSLCertificateFile "/private/etc/apache2/server.crt"

to

SSLCertificateFile "/private/etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt"

Then restarted Apache via apachectl and everything was fine.

Good luck!
