How To Install PositiveSSL on Apache2

Hi guys, I need someone to help me installing PositiveSSL from Comodo on Apache2.

I have searched google alot and didn't find something "working".

Thanks

 

Tried the official guide?
http://www.positivessl.com/ssl-certificate-support/cert_installation/apache-ssl.php

 

Yes Croydon but apache fails to start

 

Then check the /var/log/apache2/error.log during apache restart.

 

[Fri Dec 20 08:32:01 2013] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `mydomain.org' does NOT match server name!?

This is the error... any idea where i did wrong?

 

This does not seem to be an error that prevents apache from starting.
It's a warning that you set up a ssl that does not match the server name but apache should start with that, too.

 

I have used this instruction: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-an-ssl-vhost-under-apache2-on-ubuntu-9.10-debian-lenny.

It worked, but now I have problems with all none-ssl sites on the server.
If you call them with https:// in stead of http:// you go to the ssl-site with the PositiveSSL site.

 

Have you set up a default SSL vhost?
If not the behaviour is completely normal.
You have only one vhost configured for port 443 (ssl), so this one is used at every call to https.

You can check apache vhosts like this:

Code:

apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS

I think in your case there will be only one vhost at port 443.

 

Thats's right. How do I get rid of the fact that all hhtp hosts go to the default https host?

 

You don't.
There is always a default host where the requests go to.

The only solution would be to create a default vhost with SSL that takes all requests that are not catched by the SSL domain and add a .htaccess there that redirects to the appropriate http:// url.

 

Could you give me a quick view how to do that?
