[FIXED] Why https:// and http//:443 works, but http does not with SSLEngine on?

Issue

I'm trying to allow HTTP and HTTPS on a VirtualHost within Ubuntu/Debian. I am using the default snakeoil certificates and I am getting the following errors when SSLEngine is on. My servername is linuxturnkeylamp, I have no idea how .Belkin is being added but am using a Belkin router for internet access.

The apache2.conf has ServerName linuxturnkeylamp, and aside a default virtualhost and one for phpmyadmin, my only other is...

<VirtualHost localdrupal.mydomain.com:*>
    DocumentRoot //home/myuser/mydomain/mydomain

My /etc/hosts include..

127.0.0.1 linuxturnkeylamp
192.168.56.100  localdrupal.tripchi.com

As is, https://... displays a static image as well as when requesting with http://localdrupal.mydomain.com:443/image.png. However, when requesting http://localdrupal.mydomain.com/image.png i get....

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.

If i change to SSLEngine off, HTTPS says SSL connection error and HTTP displays the image.

What am i doing wrong? Does my default virtualhost have to include anything about SSL? It currently does not.

Solution

It appears the problem was AllowOverride None needed to be AllowOverride All in the project's directory specification for the 443 virtualhost.
