apache 2.2 - Single domain SSL presented for all domains on Shared IP




I have a VPS running Apache/2.2.22 on Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS.




I have successfully installed an SSL for domaina.com



Unfortunately if I visit https://domainb.com, https://domainc.com, etc… I am presented with certificate warnings as each domain is presenting domaina.com certificate.



How can I stop this?



Can I stop Apache sending the certificate for all sites sharing the same IP.
Can I block port :443 access using ufw for a domain name?
Something else?




Domain A configuration




    ServerName   domaina.com
    ServerAlias  www.domaina.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/domaina.com/public



    ServerName   domaina.com

    ServerAlias  www.domaina.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/domaina.com/public
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile      /etc/apache2/ssl/domaina.com.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile   /etc/apache2/ssl/domaina.key
    SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/domaina.com.ca-bundle





Domain B, C… configuration




    ServerName   domainb.com
    ServerAlias  www.domainb.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/domainb.com/public



Errors experienced




Browsing using Mac OS X Mountain Lion, latest version of Chrome, Safari, Firefox.



Chrome — This is probably not the site you are looking for! You attempted to reach www.domainb.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as www.domaina.com.



Firefox — This Connection is Untrusted. You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.domainb.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.



Safari — Safari can't verify the identity of the website "www.domainb.com".


Answer



This is expected behavior. You have a couple options here - you can either use Subject Alternative Names in your SSL cert and serve the names for the other domains, you can get a new IP for the other domains, or you can force the other domains to be non-SSL. The last might not work very well, as you will likely end up using an Apache rewrite rule, which may only be recognized after the browser presents it's certificate warning.

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...
