SSL and host.mydomain.com

hello,

I just installed a WHM gen'd cert which works fine for my standard docroot.

I have a virtual host designated by a different hostname (e.g.- hostname.mydomain.com) that points somewhere other than my standard docroot

For this second case using https:// requests to hostname.mydomain.com point to my docroot.

I've been digging through the forums but haven't found an answer... any help much appreciated.

hi ciphervendor,

sorry... i'll be more clear:

I setup a WHM-generated cert for mydomain.com.

problem #1
When I access https://www.mydomain.com/ I get the Security Alert dialog telling me the cert is untrusted, doesn't match the name of the site.

Proceeding displays the page but the "Lock" in the browser does not appear.


problem #2
When I access https://hostname2.mydomain.com/ (where hostname2 is a separate Virtual Host I have configured, off the same domain name as #1) the main docroot for mydomain.com is returned instead of the Virtual Host.


If I'm still unclear about something let me know, this is the first time I have gone through the cert setup process.

thanks.

So I need to a separate cert for each hostname off my domain? Is this going to require separate IP addresses, or can I do all this off one IP as long as the domain is the same?

re:hostname docroot, it is correctly configured, only returns main docroot when using https.
