title: Google Cloud Platform: Cannot get https (SSL) working on Wordpress Instance
body: <p>I'm using Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) on Google Compute Engine with a Wordpress Install (click-to-deploy).</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to setup an SSL certificate (https) for the Wordpress install. I've created a static IP, a private key, a CSR and have uploaded SSL &amp; intermediate crt files (from freeSSL.com) to <code>etc/apache2/ssl</code> (with the private key) and given this folder <code>root:root</code> permission.</p>
  
  <p>I've followed <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-debian-7" rel="noreferrer">https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-debian-7</a> and updated default-ssl config file as instructed (updating pathnames to .crt and .key files, ServerName and ServerAdmin).</p>
  
  <p>I ran a configtest (got syntax OK), enabled default-ssl and rebooted apache. When I visit <code>https://domain</code> or <code>https://ip-address</code>, I get a "This Webpage is Unavailable" error (ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED). The wordpress install still loads ok on http.</p>
  
  <p>The SSL checker at <a href="https://www.digicert.com/help/" rel="noreferrer">https://www.digicert.com/help/</a> gives me a "no certificates found" error, although the certificates are there.</p>
