If you ever encounter Firefox saying

Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long

or Chrome / Chromium / WebKit complaining with

Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.

and you just reconfigured your Apache webserver adding a new VirtualHost on port 443, make sure you didn't forget

SSLEnable on

in the VirtualHost block. Otherwise Apache tries to serve non-encrypted content over the SSL port and browsers don't produce helpful error messages. Nothing in the Apache log files either.
