I'm trying to disable SSLv3 to avoid the Poodle problem. I'm using the following instructions as a guidleine: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1232413
I've applied the following line to my config file:
SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
and restarted apache, but it looks like I'm still vulnerable. I'm using this tool to verify: https://access.redhat.com/labs/poodle/
I've also done a grep to make sure SSL is not active anywhere else, which it isn't.
I came across this post: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/162478/poodle-disabling-sslv3-in-apache , the accepted answer states that you have to put in the above line in every vhost stanza, is this true? I do have other vhosts on this server but they are required to be secure.
** EDIT: Adding sanatised config file for the site with SSL references. **

My other vhost files are just standard configs for port 80, there's nothing special about them.
sudo service httpd configtest returns Syntax OK.
