I run ISPConfig 3.0.5.4p5 on Debian Wheezy. There I have 3 Websites: cloud.example.com, wiki.example.com and www.example.com. Cloud.example.com is listed first in the list. All sites are ssl enabled and secured with a rapidssl wildcard certificate that covers my domain and all subdomains. At the redirect tab of www.example.com I have set a SEO Redirect domain.tld => www.domain.tld. Also for www.example.com, in the options tab in the field "Apache directives" I have the following code to force ssl for this site: Code: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} My aim is to redirect the sites http://example.com, https://example.com, http://www.example.com to https://www.example.com. This works fine for http://www.example.com, as it indeed redirects to https://www.example.com but when I cal http://example.com I always get redirected to cloud.example.com. Why does http://example.com redirect to my cloud and not to https://www.example.com as desired?
Apache will redirect to the first site in alphabet when it does not find a better matching vhost in its configuration files. Do all websits have a "auto subdomain" setting "www"?
A redirect can only match in a vhost that gets the traffic for a given domain or subdomain. so you have to add auto subdomain www if a redirect shall work for domain.tld and www.domain.tld. If no www subdomain exists, the firts vhost on the server, in your case the cloud vhost, will get the traffic.
Thanks a lot Till, setting auto subdomain to example.com did the trick. I tried this before but it did not work as exprected though. But now it does -who knows why Have a great day
