How to open a virtual host with http or https

[starz677]

Hello,

Having read what seems like every page available on the Internet on this....(small exaggeration) I'm still stumped.

I have a working ubuntu 10.04 server with apache2 .
I have 2 virtual hosts
SSL is tested and working on the server
When I try to open either site with https, it only looks in the Root of the web directory

I can open both sites using http but would like to be able to access both sites with http or https

What I can't figure out is how to add port 443 access to those same virtual hosts.

In /etc/apache2/sites-available I have both virtual hosts in their own <Virtualhost *:80> container
It stands to reason that I need a <Virtualhost *:443> duplicate container (file) for the https access but that doesn't work and it seems awkward having two identically named files in the sites-available folder.

I also tried changing the <Virtualhost *:80> line to <Virtualhost *:80 *:443> but that failed.
I also tried changing the <Virtualhost *:80> line to <Virtualhost> and that also failed

Finally, I tried copying a duplicate of the Virtualhost file for the site into ssl.conf and added a directive to include ssl.conf to Apache2.conf (changing virtualhost *:80 to Virtualhost *:443>......that also failed.

If I change the <Virtualhost *:80> line to <Virtualhost *:443> it works. But I want to be able to open the site secure or unsecure.

Not sure what to do.

Thanks


Never mind. Found the solution.
Just include the SSL directives inside the Virtual host file.
