Hi, I tried to enable http2 with apache2 but I couldn’t. I did this:
I have a ubuntu server 18.04.2 and apache 2.4.29, also i use letsencrypt for the site.
I need to do something else?
Thanks
Hello,
That should be pretty much it.
You can now use your browser to check if the resources are actually going through http2. You can do that with the browsers developer tool, then go to the networking tab and try accessing your site, there you should see the protocol that is being used.
Note that the Protocol column might not be there, so you need to enable it, just right click on any of the other columns and choose tick the Protocol from the drop down.
Let me know how it goes!

Hi, thanks, I checked this but not work the http2, I think that I need to do someting else.
That is pretty much it, I have the same setup for my website actually. You can check it here:
One thing that I could suggest is adding the Protocols h2 http/1.1 line in your Vhost for port 80 as well. Also did you restart apache after the changes?

Hi, yes I rebooted apache and server. This is my virtual host configuration (80 and 443):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin abc2039@gmail.com
ServerName abc.com
ServerAlias www.abc.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/abc.com/html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =abc.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.abc.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
<Directory /var/www/abc.com/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Protocols h2 http/1.1
</VirtualHost>
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin xxxx9@gmail.com
ServerName abc.com
ServerAlias www.abc.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/abc.com/html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/abc.com/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/abc.com/privkey.pem
Protocols h2 http/1.1
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>
And in apache2.conf I added “Protocols h2 h2c http/1.1”
This all seems correct, how exactly are you testing?
You could try to use an online tool like this one:
https://tools.keycdn.com/http2-test
Or you can use a command line tool like openssl:
openssl s_client -alpn h2 -connect www.example.com:443 -status

Thanks, I resolved the problem, the problem was that “The mpm module (prefork.c) is not supported by mod_http2”, I used this to fix it: https://http2.pro/doc/Apache
