Re: [users@httpd] Re: SSL virtual Hosts

HTTPD doesn't care how many files your configuration uses. You can include
as many  directives in a single file as you want.
To quote from [the documentation](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/
configuring.html):
>  In addition, other configuration files may be added using the Include
directive, and wildcards can be used to include many configuration files.
Any directive may be placed in any of these configuration files.

The only time you need more than one config file is if you are running more
than one httpd process on a single server. You can then specify which
configuration file each one should read to start up using the `-f`
parameter.

1 domain uses a wild card certificate

The other domains use basic single domain certificates.


I suspect that all domains are actually using the wildcard certificate
when you use a single file.  That's the only way that I can see this
working.

The SSL session is established *before* the client sends any HTTP
request to the server, so the server has to choose which certificate to
present to the client before it knows the hostname that the client is
using.  Thus, *named* virtual hosts don't work over SSL.  (There's an
extension called SNI that addresses this, but you didn't mention it, so
I assume that you're not using it.)
