[cobalt-users] SSL and Virtual Hosts

["G. Armour Van Horn" <vanhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been trying to setup a secure site for one client on my RaQ2.

The root server is valkyrie.image-acquire.com (generally www).
The client virtual server is www.wheelergalleries.com

The certificate is for wheelergalleries.com from Thawte.

I can generally access anything normally visible with http on that virtual
server with https, but the cgi-bin contents are not found. The root domain
(image-acquire.com) cannot be seen with https, it goes to the "old"
document root, which is the default in the httpsd.conf file, and that
allows me to see the mod_ssl docs so I don't want to "fix" that right away.

When I restart the httpsd server I get the "pass phrase" challenge from
another server, specifically www.larkinart.com. larkinart.com does not
appear anwhere in the httpsd.conf file, in fact that virtual server has
never been used at all other than to park the domain. (My wife, Larkin, is
about to kill me because I don't have her site built, but she also knows
that the cobbler's children never have new shoes!)

I only have one virtual site actually configured in httpsd.conf, and that
is wheelergalleries. As far as I know, I will never need any other secure
servers configured on this machine, although I don't want to destroy the
option unless I really have to.

So, how do I get the server to issue the "permission phrase" challenge for
the right server, and how do I get the server to recognize the /cgi-bin
directory structure as well as it handles the rest of the
wheelergalleries.com site?
