Can't find the solution to SSL errors with apache2.4. On my localhost which is Ubuntu LAMP stack it seemed to just stop working a few days ago.. http://example.com works but not https://example.com

Firefox gives me ssl_error_rx_record_too_long and Chrome gives me ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR.

I've generated new certificates, and set them to the right domain, but it still fails.

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName example.dev
ServerAlias www.example.dev
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com

 SSLEngine On
 SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
 SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key

 ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
 CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

 Include /etc/apache2/rules.conf

</VirtualHost>

It's strange, and a bit frustrating, thank you for the help.

Edit: I looked at access.log and I get these errors:

127.0.0.1 - - [31/Jul/2014:23:07:47 -0700] "\x16\x03" 400 0 "-" "-"

Thank you for the help, I finally got it right by changing default:443 to example.dev:443.
