[SOLVED] Apache with and without SSL == Site with https and http

[neo_fox]

Hi

I have a small problem.
My Apache is configured in this way that I have one IP and more VirtualHost

Something like this:

NameVirtualHost 123.456.7.89
..
<VirtualHost subdomain.site.com >
....
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost subdomain2.site.com>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost subdomain.othersite.com>
...
</VirtualHost>

Now I need to have one site with SSL Encryption.
So I tried something like this

NameVirtualHost 123.456.7.89
..
<VirtualHost subdomain.site.com >
      ServerName subdomain.site.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost subdomain.othersite.com>
...
</VirtualHost>   

<VirtualHost subdomain.site.com >
      ServerName subdomain.site.com:443
      SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl/cert.crt
      SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/ssl/cert.key    
      SSLEngine on
......
</VirtualHost>

In this way the subdomain.site.com was accessible via https and all sites returning 400 - bad request when I tried to access it via http.

I read a bit and found out that the SSL encrypted site have to have own IP address. So I ordered new IP and tried this:

DNS-Entry shows subdomain.site.com on IP 123.456.7.900

NameVirtualHost 123.456.7.89
..
<VirtualHost subdomain.site.com >
      ServerName subdomain.site.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost subdomain.othersite.com>
...
</VirtualHost>   

<VirtualHost 123.456.7.900 >
      ServerName subdomain.site.com:443
      SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl/cert.crt
      SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/ssl/cert.key    
      SSLEngine on
......
</VirtualHost>

Now are all other site ok again (accessible via HTTP).
But the site I need to secure subdomain.site.com is accessible via https.
If I try to access it with http I get 400 - bad request.

What I need to do is to have:
- Several named based VirtualHost without encryption
- One or more sites with SSL encryption
- One or more sites accessible with and without SSL encryption
- I have 5 IP addresses available for it.

It is possible?

Kind regards,
Neo

Hi

It is possible?

Yes

I assume you have already changed it to listen on 443.

how about this

NameVirtualHost 123.456.7.89:80
NameVirtualHost 123.456.7.89:443
..
<VirtualHost subdomain.site.com:80 >
....
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost subdomain2.site.com:80>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost subdomain.othersite.com:443>
Your ssl stuff here.  and did you create the ssl
</VirtualHost>

restart apache and then do a
#tail -f /../../apache/error.log

and then try and access your ssl site and see what gets logged.

You have fully right this was exactly this problem.
It is neccessary to tell Apache to listing both ports for this IP and then the port has to be also defined in the VirtualHost name.

Thanks,
