Hi,
I'm having problems to activate HTTP2 in Apache 2.4.39 (Win64 / Open SSL 1.1.1c) on a Windows 2016 server.

I have several servers running Server 2012R2 all with HTTP2 working and I use exactly the same configuration and Apache version on the 2016 machine:

In the default conf file:
LoadModule http2_module modules/mod_http2.so

and in virtualhost context:
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl/mydomain.com-chain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl/mydomain.com-key.pem
Protocols h2 http/1.1

SSL certs are by Let's Encrypt.
As I get no errors in Apache log file or in Windows Events I can't figure out what is wrong.

When I call the website from a browser I can see it uses HTTP 1.1 and also https://http2.pro says "no HTTP2".
Also when I try to add a HTTP2 specific param like "H2MaxSessionStreams" I get an error on Apache restart saying that this command is unknown.

Are there any known issues with Windows Server 2016? Or any other hints? Any helpful options for log file?

Thanks a lot

Hello,

of course you need a browser that is able to use https Wink

I'm using Apache 2.4.39 downloaded here from apachelounge in combination with PHP 7.3.7 (downloaded from here, too) on Win10Pro successfully with HTTP/2. Within Firefox I use the addon "HTTP/2 Indicator" to have a hint if HTTP/2 is used or not.

Here are some lines from my apache's config-files that are related to HTTP/2 (and to https as (IIRC) HTTP/2 is only working in combination with https):

In httpd.conf:
Code:
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
LoadModule http2_module modules/mod_http2.so
Protocols h2 h2c http/1.1
ProtocolsHonorOrder On
[...]
Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
<IfModule ssl_module>
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
</IfModule>


in extra/httpd-ssl.conf
Code:
[...]
SSLProtocol -all +TLSv1.2 +TLSv1.3
SSLHonorCipherOrder On
SSLCipherSuite EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH;
SSLCipherSuite TLSv1.3 TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256:TLS_AES_128_CCM_SHA256
[...]


Maybe the are helpful Question

arrgh, my fault: I had two configs on my new server and simply loaded the wrong one w/o the line
LoadModule http2_module modules/mod_http2.so

After loading the correct one, now HTTP2 is working.

Thanks
