ssl.conf modification
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:06:58 EST
Description of problem: ssl.conf could be better (not that is is bad:) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [chrismcc@webtest165 /]$ rpm -q httpd httpd-2.0.46-17.ent How reproducible: after httpd.conf modification Steps to Reproduce: 1. install httpd 2. install mod_ssl 3. change httpd.conf Actual results: differences not carried from http:// to https:// Expected results: same in both types of URLs Additional info: If (as I am) you use a different document root than the built in default such as /web/docroot the ssl "<VirtualHost _default_:443>" breaks and you must change it also. After some experimenting, I found the following directives will inherent the global configs and don't have to be 're-set' in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf ( ignore the TransferLog line ) [chrismcc@webtest165 conf.d]$ diff ssl.conf.NO ssl.conf -u --- ssl.conf.NO 2003-09-01 13:34:50.000000000 -0700 +++ ssl.conf 2003-09-11 11:47:25.000000000 -0700 @@ -101,11 +101,11 @@ <VirtualHost _default_:443> # General setup for the virtual host -DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" -ServerName new.host.name:443 -ServerAdmin you@your.address -ErrorLog logs/ssl_error_log -TransferLog logs/ssl_access_log +### DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" +### ServerName new.host.name:443 +### ServerAdmin you@your.address +### ErrorLog logs/ssl_error_log +### TransferLog logs/ssl_access_log # SSL Engine Switch: # Enable/Disable SSL for this virtual host. @@ -222,7 +222,7 @@ <Files ~ "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php3?)$"> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </Files> -<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin"> +<Directory "/web/cgi-bin"> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </Directory> [chrismcc@webtest165 conf.d]$ chrismcc@morticia tmp]$ lynx -dump https://webtest165 | grep -i "Document_Root\|Server_Name\|Server_Admin" _SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] webtest165 _SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] /web/docroot _SERVER["SERVER_ADMIN"] webmaster@pricegrabber.com [chrismcc@morticia tmp]$ lynx -dump https://webtest165/broke ==> error_log <== [Thu Sep 11 12:03:26 2003] [error] [client 192.168.10.15] File does not exist: /web/docroot/broke My suggestion would be to not put those lines in ssl.conf , but let them come from the parent config.
This was mostly done in 2.0.46-20.ent - thanks for the report. # DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" # ServerAdmin you@your.address # ServerName new.host.name:443 ErrorLog and TransferLog are deliberately left customised for the SSL vhost.
