Simplifying my Apache site configuration

Hi jzimmerlin,

As per the Apache 2.2 documentation, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/co … irtualhost">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#virtualhost simply do:

 <virtualhost 1.2.3.4:80="" 1.2.3.4:443="">...</virtualhost> 

Regards,

Thanks, I'll give that a shot!

OK, so I finally got around to trying this. Unless I misunderstood what you meant, this didn't work.

 <virtualhost *:80="" 72.14.190.162:443="">ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName www.rundowncreator.com

    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/STAR_rundowncreator_com.crt

    DocumentRoot /var/www
     <directory>Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None

(REWRITE RULES WOULD GO HERE)</directory> 
     <directory var="" www="">Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all</directory> 

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
     <directory "="" usr="" lib="" cgi-bin"="">AllowOverride None
        Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <directory "="" usr="" share="" doc="">Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128</directory></virtualhost> 

…will force SSL on port 80 and 443, which is not what I want. And…

 <virtualhost *:80="" 72.14.190.162:443="">ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    DocumentRoot /var/www
     <directory>Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None

 <virtualhost 72.14.190.162:443="">ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/rundowncreator.com.key
        SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/PositiveSSL.ca-bundle</virtualhost> 

…gives me:

[Fri May 04 10:00:31 2012] [warn] VirtualHost 72.14.190.162:443 overlaps with VirtualHost 72.14.190.162:443, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive

Any ideas?

You may have more success putting the common configuration in a third file, and including that file from each vhost. The warning message is telling you to add a NameVirtualHost directive. If that doesn't do it, I wouldn't be sure how to mix non-secured and secured vhost definitions either.

How would you include the file?

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#include should do it.

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

It worked. Thank you!
