SpiceMan, I follow your suggestions to set up as follows. webmail.conf: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName mail.openmbox.net ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =mail.openmbox.net RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent] </VirtualHost> webmail-le-ssl.conf: <IfModule mod_ssl.c> <VirtualHost *:443> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName mail.openmbox.net DocumentRoot /var/www/snappy ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined <Directory /> Options None AllowOverride None Require all denied </Directory> <Directory /var/www/snappy> Options +Indexes Order deny,allow Allow from all Require all granted </Directory> <Directory /var/www/snappy/data> Require all denied </Directory> SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.openmbox.net/fullchain.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.openmbox.net/privkey.pem Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf </VirtualHost> </IfModule> And apache2 restarted without error. but http://mail.openmbox.net still go to default site. any idea? regards.
