Since you tell apache to listen to all IPs is does exactly that. You need to tell your first apache to only listen to the first IP, and your second apache instance to listen to the second IP. > Is there a way to use make apache use a different ssl.conf than the > default in /opt/apache2/conf/ssl.conf. Ofcourse this is possible. Have a look in your configuration files for the "Include" statement. > I have also tried to run the ssl > in each individial httpd-server1.conf and httpd-server2.conf files but > it seems to not recognize the SSLENGINE or any other SSL configurations. For SSL directives to be recognised you need mod_ssl to be loaded. In the standard apache config file distributed with the software this is done when you add -D SSL as startup option, or start with apachectl startssl (which does the same). In the standard apache config that you got with your distribution the SSL option also triggers the loading of a seperate ssl.conf file. I would do the following: make a ssl1.conf and a ssl2.conf. In these files you put the SSL configuration for server 1 and server 2 resp. In httpd-server1.conf look for the following lines: <IfModule mod_ssl.c> Include conf/ssl.conf </IfModule> And change ssl.conf in to ssl1.conf. httpd-server2.conf change ssl.conf to ssl2.conf. You now have two seperate ssl configs for your two seperate apache instances.
