[SOLVED] Using ssl on name based virtual server

konzo · 09-11-2010, 08:39 AM

Hi all,

I want to make virtual name apache server in order to run http and https on my domain, but I found in apache documentation that it is not supported. I ask here because the docs can be old and in the newer version that could be possible.

I use apache vesrion 2.2 and this is waht I want to make:

1. configure my domain name to use http protocol
2. configure subdomain.domain to use https protocol

For now I can start https only in the domain and subdomain but can't do that separately.

SSL requires a unique ip address so you can't have two sites using SSL on one ip address. You have to assign your subdomain a different ip address than the standard domain.

Yes, it is written in the documentation, but I menage to do it somehow. I use NameVirtualHost directive with IP and :80 for http and :443 for https. It works for now (if I am not seeing cached result).

This is no longer true. You can use Server Name Indication (SNI) with ssl, so you can have as many ssl vhosts you want. Take a look at the documentation here.
