NO, this is not an FAQ! The apache 2.2.3 coming with CentOS 5 cannot identify name-based virtual hosts for SSL anymore. It goes straight to the first virtual host. This worked with Apache 1.3 and still works with Apache 2.0. I just started investigating what I need to change moving from 2.0 to 2.2 and find that this functionality suddenly stopped working with 2.2. I cannot see any change concerning this in the upgrade guide for 2.2 and the changelog for 2.2 also lists only one change in this area for 2.1.9 which implies it should work. The few related bug reports I can find all suggest that it *should* work: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43997 http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41537 The wiki also implies it should work: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CommonMisconfigurations#head- f1f4514b7f635005fe921a19afa007f3b6526a0e I'm wondering if the Apache 2.2.3 in CentOS is broken, if it is a general bug in Apache 2.2 or if it is a "silent" design change in Apache 2.2. Can anyone make name-based virtual hosts with SSL work on 2.2? (Just to avoid getting some standard answers: using name-based virtual hosts with SSL *is* useful if you use the same wildcard certificate for the virtual hosts and hostnames like webmail1.example.org, webmail2.example.org etc. It has worked fine for years with the major browsers and before Apache 2.2.)
