all https requests redirect to main page..

Hi,

A month ago I setup self generated ssl using the main server IP and secure.hostingcompany.com for domain.

This way all customers who could not afford to buy a certificate and dedicated IP could still take advantage of a secure connection to their admin areas on the sites or other purposes. Of course there were browser warnings that the domain did not correspond and that certificate was not from an authority but that is ok - it was still a secure connection.

The problem is that all of a sudden https behaviour changed. when typing https://clientsite.com/ apache redirects to the main server website instead. I do not know what caused this change. perhaps some cpanel update? How can I get it back so that https requests stay at client's site and do not get redirected to main site?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the tip, I tried it but did not work.

It seems there can be only one SSL certificate per ip. Even if I put several virtual hosts with <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:443> apache will redirect all https requests to the first virtual host and disregard any other ssl virtual hosts.

 

The funny thing is that this has worked for all sites on the server without redirecting! And I can give you example on another server (not cPanel) that it works - https://igphosting.com/
You can see that the certificate is issued to server304.com and the ip is also only one but still it works. I will ask them and if I find the trick will post here.

Vautrec,

All you have to do is opne httpd.conf and search for '443'. You will find this way all virtual hosts that have <VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:443> and you can remove whichever you do not need. You may want to backup your httpd.conf file before editing it!
