security - How to configure SSL with apache2/httpd mass virtual hosting using mod_vhost_alias

I have been searching quite a bit now but couldn't find any answers.



I'm using httpd 2.2.15 and Centos 6.2.



I have configured apache for mass virtual hosting. I.e.:



UseCanonicalName off

VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/html/%0


I will have the same "main" domain with different subdomains pointing to the virtual hosts. I have created a self-signed cert for testing purpose with common name *.mydomain.com. There's one IP for the entire server.



How can I configure apache to use ssl for my vhosts?



And if possible, added to above I would like to achieve this as well:





  1. Can I define a directory, or preferable some files (e.g. login page), that should be excluded from the ssl? All vhosts are basically different instances of the same application (except the ones I mention in 2 below).


  2. Can I define some vhosts that should not use ssl (I have full control of the subdomain name for those). This will be two application, my home-page (www) and some administrative application. If it's not possible to make exceptions, I guess I will just put those on another server.




Except the ones I mentioned in 2 above, all virtual hosts will be created automatically based on users request.



Based on @Shanes comment, I update: If the user use https:// when they shouldn't, it's good if they are redirected to http://. If that's not possible I guess it's ok if they get an error message. It's of course ok if BOTH http and https works, as long as http works for the unprotected files (this may be the preferred choice actually).



I could find examples of how to do this using mod-rewrite with the exception that it wasn't for mass-domains (i.e. < VirtualHost > was used).




What's the tricks for achieving this?



If not possible, I would be most happy to get some hints about how to do this.

iLO 3 Firmware Update (HP Proliant DL380 G7)

The iLO web interface allows me to upload a .bin file ( Obtain the firmware image (.bin) file from the Online ROM Flash Component for HP Integrated Lights-Out. ) The iLO web interface redirects me to a page in the HP support website ( http://www.hp.com/go/iLO ) where I am supposed to find this .bin firmware, but no luck for me. The support website is a mess and very slow, badly categorized and generally unusable. Where can I find this .bin file? The only related link I am able to find asks me about my server operating system (what does this have to do with the iLO?!) and lets me download an .iso with no .bin file And also a related question: what is the latest iLO 3 version? (for Proliant DL380 G7, not sure if the iLO is tied to the server model)

linux - Awstats - outputting stats for merged Access_logs only producing stats for one server's log

I've been attempting this for two weeks and I've accessed countless number of sites on this issue and it seems there is something I'm not getting here and I'm at a lost. I manged to figure out how to merge logs from two servers together. (Taking care to only merge the matching domains together) The logs from the first server span from 15 Dec 2012 to 8 April 2014 The logs from the second server span from 2 Mar 2014 to 9 April 2014 I was able to successfully merge them using the logresolvemerge.pl script simply enermerating each log and > out_putting_it_to_file Looking at the two logs from each server the format seems exactly the same. The problem I'm having is producing the stats page for the logs. The command I've boiled it down to is /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -configdir=/home/User/Documents/conf/ -config=example.com awstatsprog=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl dir=/home/User/Documents/parced -month=all -year=all...

linux - How can I get my mediawiki to stop thinking I have cookies disabled?

I've searched half a day for how to resolve this issue, and can't figure it out. Shortly after I made my wiki a simple private wiki according to the instructions at Mediawiki's website, it started giving me this weird login error message: Wiki uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again. If I remove those private wiki settings, the error disappears, even if I try logging in. But I need it to be a private wiki for only my team. So what do I do? Here's what I've done so far. Just to be safe, after ever change, I try rebooting Apache using: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart In my php.ini file, I have the following set: session.save_path = "/var/lib/php5" session.cookie_secure = secure session.cookie_path = /tmp session.cookie_domain = my server's internal URL (should I even set this? this field was blank before, but not commented out) session.referer_check = Off I ran the following to ensure that the fold...
