Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.

Apache will always use the certificate of the default virtual host, which is the first defined virtual host in name based virtual hosts. While this doesn't mean that you won't ever be able to access the second virtual host, it does mean your users will always get a certificate mismatch popup warning when trying to access some.domain2.com. Read more about this at [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_faq.html#vhosts2].[[BR]][[BR]] - Also, note that the configuration above isn't something someone would normally use for SSL. However, using !NameVirtualHost *:443 is commonly seen in howtos for Debian/Ubuntu.[[BR]][[BR]] + Also, note that the configuration above isn't something someone would normally use for SSL, which requires a static, non-shared IP address -- !NameVirtualHost 127.124.3.53:80 is a more likely format. However, using !NameVirtualHost *:443 is commonly seen in howtos for Debian/Ubuntu.[[BR]][[BR]] === Scope ===
