I am configuring a web server with:
Apache2
DDclient
UFW
Letsencrypt.com certification (SSL)
My issue is that the domain is only partly accessible? Everything works as it should, but when I try to access the domain from my phone (using 4G) and from my laptop (WIFI), the phone connection times out (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT), and my laptop gets a blocked GET-request.
I can access the site perfectly through ethernet, though I suspect it is not a true connection that passes the request through my router - and my friends are able to visit the domain through an actual internet connection with my router. But why my phone connection doesn't work fumbles me.
Following are my VirtualHost settings, Router settings and UFW settings:
VirtualHost
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName website.com
ServerAlias www.website.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Redirect permanent / https://website.com/
</VirtualHost>
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName website.com
ServerAlias www.website.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/as
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

Like, everything seems correct but somehow either the firewall is blocking certain entries; the website gets overloaded; or some settings are messed up. Is there anything I'm missing?
Your virtualhost is wrongly configured. You dont need the *:80 configuration for it to work. If you set your external port to 443 apache will skip directly to the HTTPS domain.

I have a web service which I access by typing the following URL exactly as is (character for character):
http://10.115.252.127:8980/opennms/login.jsp
The website files are served from /opt/opennms/jetty-webapps/opennms/
My objective is to use Apache (httpd.conf) to force any traffic to this URL to use SSL and no longer HTTP.
I have successfully installed the SSL certificates with no issues.
I have configured a VirtualHost directive to redirect port 80 to 443
Only sites under /var/www/html/* are being successfully redirected.
Example: http://10.115.252.127/numbers successfully redirects to https://10.115.252.127/numbers
http://10.115.252.127/charts successfully redirects to https://10.115.252.127/charts
But, when I type in the URL http://10.115.252.127:8980/opennms/login.jsp it is always served as HTTP...how do I make it served as HTTPS like the others? I have checked the forums and all the posts assume you will always be redirecting port 80 and dont say anything about how to use SSL in the scenario I explained. I have the same issue with another service running on port 3000 http://10.115.252.127:3000/login
===extract from my httpd.conf===
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName 10.115.252.127
Redirect permanent / https://10.115.252.127/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/cert_mtocb2500lbscorp.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/mtocb2500-lbscorp.key
ServerName 10.115.252.127
#Documentroot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
Based on your confirmation of my understanding, here is what you can do:
############################################################################
Listen 80
# All connections on port 80 are redirected to port 443
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
CustomLog "logs/80_access.log" combined
ErrorLog "logs/80_error.log"
Redirect permanent / https://www.example.com
# No documentRoot, no content
</VirtualHost>
############################################################################
Listen 443
# All URI are answered from the documentRoot directory
# EXCEPT /openms, which is proxied to :8980
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.example.com
# temporary, remove when tests done
LogLevel debug
CustomLog "logs/443_access.log" combined
Errorlog "logs/443_error.log"
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/cert_mtocb2500lbscorp.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/mtocb2500-lbscorp.key
# For your redirection to 8980
ProxyPass /opennms "https://www.example.com:8980/"
ProxyPassReverse /opennms "https://www.example.com:8980/"
documentRoot "/yourdir/apache/htdocs"
DirectoryIndex index.html
</VirtualHost>
Prerequisites
you must load proxy modules
you must load rewrite module
port 8980 is linked to some other software. Apache does not handle 8980.
let's say i have a website
example.com
i have 2 servers, both running apache2.
on server1 i have a an apache2 web server configured with port 443 accessible through
https://example.com
i have another web server running on port 3456 with configured with reverse proxy and alias that is accessible through https://site1.example.com
configuration for this next site is as follows
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
ServerName site1.example.com
ProxyPass / http://localhost:3456/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3456/
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
ServerAlias site1.example.com
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/site1.example.com/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/site1.example.com/privkey.pem
</VirtualHost>
site1 works fine.
Finally i have a third web server running on server2 port 80. I want to access it with https://site2.example.com What is the correct way to do this?
I am trying to connect my DNS(with .app TLD) to apache server running on EC-2 instance port 80. But it's not connecting, where as DNS(with .in or .com TLD) are connecting easily.Here is my Virtual host config
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xyz.app
ServerAlias www.xyz.app
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
The .app top-level domain is included on the HSTS preload list, making HTTPS required on all connections to .app websites — no individual HSTS registration or configuration required. You have to configure apache virtual host to serve traffic over https (port 443)
Im running 3 sites in one server the same IP in Ubuntu/Apache using vhost.
I bought an SSL certificate and installed it in one of my sites successfully. The problem is when I run the site with no https it shows content from my other site.
Ex.
www.aaaaa.com
www.bbbbb.com (SSL)
www.ccccc.com
when I run https://bbbbb.com there is no problem but
when I run http://bbbbb.com it shows the content of www.aaaaa.com
I know the ssl is working correctly coz I have tested it sslchecker.
This is the first time I installed SSL, I hope someone knows something about this problem.
ok just got the Answer from this link
https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9821/38/redirect-to-https-on-apache
You just need to Redirect HTTPS on Apache. Solution is I added vhost port 80 on my conf file in apache to redirect it to https when accessing the site with no https.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
Redirect permanent / https://example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
ServerName example.com.ca
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/example.com/example.ca.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/example.com/example.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/example.com/example.ca.ca-bundle
</VirtualHost>
I want to set up apache2 so that the wordpress website is served via port 80 and some other php website served via port 8080. This is on my local machine running Ubuntu 15.10.
The sites-available/000-default.conf contains:
Listen 80
Listen 8080
NameVirtualHost *:8080
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory /var/www/html/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot /var/www/php-website
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
When I enter localhost into the browser, I get the Wordpress website. When I enter localhost:8080, I get (redirected it seems to) localhost.
What could be wrong here? I though there might be something wrong with the second VirtualHost config so it's defaulting to the first, so I changed their order. Same thing happened however.
It could be a problem with wordpress configuration. I think wordpress uses wordpress adress (url) or site adress (url) to redirect if you are in another domain. So you should configure this adresses to localhost and localhost:8080.
It was a browser issue. Chrome and Firefox were automatically changing the URL to localhost. It works with curl and in Incognito/Private modes.
