**Situation**  
I have recently switched to using ubuntu. Docker is installed and working ok, using docker/development-easy/docker-compose up the containers have all been set up.

docker ps shows the following for openemr

`> 111660d37720 openemr/openemr:flex "./openemr.sh" 5 hours ago Up 26 minutes 0.0.0.0:8300->80/tcp, :::8300->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:9300->443/tcp, :::9300->443/tcp development-easy-openemr-1`

if i try to connect to the openemr server using 8300 i get an error

```auto
Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to localhost:8300. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
> Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
> 
> The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

```

If I connect to 9300 instead there are no problems, so i’m able to continue working ok, but it would be interesting to understand the problem with 8300, and fix it if possible

**OpenEMR Version**  
I’m using OpenEMR version 7.0.3-dev

**Browser** :  
I’m using: firefox 120.o

**Operating System**  
I’m using: ubuntu linux

Are you trying to connect to 8300 using https://server\_name:8300/ url? Does it work if you connect using http://server\_name:8300/ ?

First, FF may wrongly report this. However it sounds like the virtual host is not set up correctly to listen on port 8300 for SSL. You might start there.  
Secondly, welcome to Ubuntu! umm what took you so long?🙂

Sometimes a defeat can put one on a path to glory. Depends though if one learned from the defeat by moving forward!  
Appears you have.🙂
