Not able to access HTTPS link. Getting ssl connection error?

Question

As i have enabled default-ssl site in my ubuntu linux server. When I load the site with Google Chrome I get this error:

SSL connection error
Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.
Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.

With Firefox:

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

As i have check log file of apache2. Which say suhosin-path mod_ssl

[Fri Apr 04 16:29:33 2014] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.2.22 OpenSSL/1.0.1 mod_perl/2.0.5 Perl/v5.14.2 configured -- resuming normal operations

FYI, when i run command "apachectl -S" i get this error

/usr/sbin/apachectl: 87: ulimit: error setting limit (Operation not permitted)
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
*:443                  127.0.1.1 (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl:2)
*:80                   is a NameVirtualHost
         default server 127.0.1.1 (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1)
         port 80 namevhost 127.0.1.1 (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1)
Syntax OK

if i run "apachectl configtest"

/usr/sbin/apachectl: 87: ulimit: error setting limit (Operation not permitted)
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
Syntax OK

EDIT 1
I am getting below error also

Invalid method in request \x16\x03\x01

Please help me.

In chrome It says: SSL connection error Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have. Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error. And In firefox : SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long) — Code

It looks like you are setting up an HTTP server on port 443, e.g on a port usually used for HTTPS (HTTP wrapped inside a SSL connection). The Invalid method in request \x16\x03\x01 you get on the server side is the start of the SSL handshake of from the client. And because the client does not get the expected answer back from the server it complains.

I don't know what your intention with this setup is, but

if you want to use only HTTP keep the listener on port 80 and remove the one on port 443
if you want to set up HTTPS you need certificates etc (there is enough documentation out there)
