I've tried running my yaws Web-server (on digital-ocean) by changing my webpage from http://XXX.XX.XX to https://XXX.XX.XX
on the Erlang shell, i get
SSL accept failed: {tls_alert, "decode error"}
the yaws.conf seems to come with a default key and certificate and i haven't made any modifications to that.
could i check what needs to be done to enable SSL? thanks much.
Following the suggestion of Amiramix to check the trace via
curl -v --trace-time --trace-ascii server1.log https://XXX.XX.XX
solved the question.
