Re: [users@httpd] NameVirtualHost + SSL certificate problem

I need to serve many domains (designasign.biz, designateeshirt.biz, 

shopzeus.com, mess.hu etc.) I only have one IP address, so I'm using 

name based virtual hosts. However, I also need to do secure 

payments on 

two sites. I did a trick:

It's called port-based virtual hosting - perfectly OK way of getting
more than one HTTPS site on the same IP (at the cost of having to
specify ":444" in the URLs).

Yes, this was the idea. Thank you.

<VirtualHost *:444>
    ServerName designasign.biz
    ServerAlias www.designasign.biz
    DocumentRoot /www/designasign.biz/
    SSLEngine On

Move all the SSL certificate directives for this site in here, then it
should work.

Actually, I needed to copy them. (Also see below)

Everything seems fine, except that apache uses the default 

certificate 

for both sites. (You can test it, just go to 

https://www.shopzeus.com .) 

Is this a limitation in Apache? If not, what is wrong with my 

configuration? (I cannot find any error messages or warnings 

in the logs.)

As soon as you start using virtual hosts, give up the idea of a "default
server" and put all directives in a VH container for each server...

Yes, I did so. However, when I removed the "default" certificate from 

ssl.conf, the server did not start. I did not get any error messages in 

the log, except a "caught SIGTERM" message. This was my experience: I 

had to specify a default certificate, even if it was not used at all.

Thank you for your help,

  Laszlo
