Re: [LUG] Re: Apache DNS an resolving both externally and internally

[Simon Waters <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kevin,

I think the point being missed is each HTTPS site needs a separate IP 
address (or IP address, port, combination, but it is easier to use IP 
address).

We have servers at work with multiple HTTPS sites, and multiple virtual 
hosts, and it can get quite confusing as to how Apache is configured.

Listen 80
Listen 443
NameVirtualHost a.b.c.d:80

Then the "virtualhost" statement in each site should explicitly state 
the IP address and port being used by each site.

I'm guessing you've enabled "NameVirtualHost" on the IP address you have 
the HTTPS site on, which will just confuse things.

You can just alias an extra IP on the webserver, stick all the HTTPS 
stuff on that, and keep it separate. Probably have to do some port 
forwarding on the firewall if you only have one public IP address to 
play with.
