[SOLVED] HTTPS works, but HTTP does not?!

[phpguy]

Hello all,

I had setup an SSL secure server awhile back, such that:

https://mysite/page.php works but http://mysite.page.php does not (note the different: in the first, I use HTTPS, whereas the second I use HTTP)

Why is this? Can I only have one or the other? How can I get both to co-exist?

Can you please clarify that you're using non-http access by http://site/page.php, not, as you appear to have typed, http://site.page.php.

If this is how you're accessing that site, then you won't get a response from that second address unless you're running this inside a LAN with your own nameserver that converts 'mysite.page.php' into the web address of your http server.

If you simply had a typo in your first post, as Roxoff pointed out, the problem could also be with your server setup. It is entirely possible to set up a server so that normal HTTP connections, or simply any traffic on port 80, are dropped and ignored.

[phpguy]

sorry guys! Yes it was a typo

This works: https://mysite/page.php
This does not: http://mysite/page.php

How can I check if all requests to port 80 are ignored?

Can you post the vhosts file, any relavent .htaccess entries and confirm what you mean by not working?

By not working it just means I get a 404 page not found error, just as I would if the page didn't exist

Here is my vhost config for SSL

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName localhost

    DocumentRoot /var/www/
    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/secure.keydom.net.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/secure.keydom.net.key
    SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/gd_bundle.crt
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/>
        Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
        AllowOverride None
        Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Here is my vhost config for port 80

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName localhost
  DocumentRoot /var/www/

  <Directory /var/www/>
    AllowOverride All
    Order Deny,Allow
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Note that the SSL config is in one file, and the port 80 (non-SSL) config is in another file

Any ideas!? Thanks everyone

There's nothing leaping out as obviously wrong (but it's early) and as the port 443 config works, one option is to back up the port 80 file and copy the other one. Then switch it to port 80 and strip out the ssl stuff. and see if that works.

I was able to narrow this down by trying that... Basically the problem was that my apache.conf file had the line "Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default" rather than just "Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/". In other words, only my 000-default (the SSL site) was actually being included!
