RE: Multi site SSL problems (Apache Users)

I set up each entry with <VirtualHost *:443> but when I do that, the second site will complain that the cert is for site1. So if I go to site2.com, I get a browser error that the cert is for site1. It will show me the content for site1.

I am not sure why the difference, my non ssl hosts, ie <VirtualHost *:80> all work fine, each site gives me the correct content, so why does it not work for <VirtualHost *:443>?

The Entries are

ServerName www.site1.com

....

ServerName www.site2.com

....

I am not sure how to do this part:

Do not use the 2.2 authz directives (Allow/Deny/Order) and use Require instead

I am running Apache 2.2, does it still apply?

It does not look like mod_access_compat is listed under mods-enabled

Hi, I am having an issue trying to get multiple sites with their own SSL cert. I purchased AlphaSSL certs for them.

The strange thing, the first cert works, the second gives me an ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR, but only on some systems.

This is what I am using now:

(

Site1 is fine, Site2 gives me the error.

I originally tried with NameVirtualHost *.443

And then <VirtualHost *.443>

But when I go to site2, it complains that the cert is invalid because it is using the cert from site1?

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>

So many red flags here:

- Always use *:PORT when defining a vhost, unless you know exactly what you are doing

- Set the ServerName directive in every single vhost

- Do not use the 2.2 authz directives (Allow/Deny/Order) and use Require instead

- Unload the mod_access_compat module when apachectl configtest passes

Lastly, show the output from apachectl -S when the fixes are applied
