On of my clients is a church website: www.fbcmct.ORG

 

they are hosted on a VPS server.  The hosting account is actually under the domain name: www.fbcmct.COM and the .org is like a "virtual" site.

 

when you go to the .com version of the site, it just forwards you to the .ORG version with a php header redirect

 

Today i installed an SSL certificate for the domain name www.fbcmct.org but when you go to https://www.fbcmct.org, instead of reading the directory for the virtual site, it plops you in the root directory of the .com version of the site.

 

http://www.fbcmct.com  resolves to /web/root/  which has a file that forwards the user to the .org site.

http://www.fbcmct.org  resolves to /web/root/fbcmct/  which is the main site.

https://www.fbcmct.org  resolves to /web/root/  which then just forwards the user to the non-ssl version, so thats no good.

 

I don't know if that means i screwed up the ssl certificate installation somewhere or if thats just they way these things work and you can't use virtual domains with SSL certs but now I need to find a workaround.

 

so basically I need https://www.fbcmct.org/someDirectory/someFile.html to be to be read from the path .../root/fbcmct/someDirectory/someFile and not just /root/someDirectory/someFile because nothing exists at the latter.

 

Any thoughts?

I went through the ssl.conf file and found:

 

# General setup for the virtual host, inherited from global configuration
#DocumentRoot "/var/www/root/"
ServerName fbcmct.com:443

and changed it to:

DocumentRoot "/var/www/root/fbcmct/"
ServerName fbcmct.com:443

 

This SEEMS to have fixed the problem. https://www.fbcmct.org is resolving to the right place now!
