I have a virtual host file with a redirect in it to force requests for the domain to https.
It seems to work too well. I added another virtual host file, and all requests for it (:80) are redirected to the first domain on :443. That is, requests for sub.b.com:80 get redirected to a.com:443. Note that b.com is not on the same server, only its sub domain is.
a.com
<VirtualHost a.com:80>
ServerName a.com
Redirect permanent / https://a.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost a.com:443>
ServerName a.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/a
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/www.a.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/a.com.key
<Directory /var/www/html/a>

AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
sub.b.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sub.b.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/b
<Directory /var/www/html/b>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Requests for b.com will be handled by the first <VirtualHost> because you have no <VirtualHost> for b.com.
You only have a <VirtualHost> for sub.b.com.
So b.com is handled by the first <VirtualHost> for that IP/port, since none is assigned to handle it and that is the way it defaults.

I am hosting website iplocation.io on a cloud server. I found a domain https://chrissloey.com/index.php which opens my website within it.
Now from what I understand, chrissloey.com has pointed it A record to my server ip and my apache2 server is not denying connection to it and allow's to open iplocation.io website content like its own.
I want apache2 to deny connections to any other domain and only allow my own domain to server content.
Attached is apache conf file for iplocation.io

Looking at the two comments I think the combination makes most sense:
Configure httpd to respond with redirect (301) to all incoming requests. This could be done on the 'root' host.
Configure a virtualhost listening to your domain only, and this one would serve your real content only.
This will work unless the other site requests your content and then integrates it into their responses. But as you said someone else simply put up a DNS A record.
I'm having an important issue with my WAMP Server configuration. I've tried many configurations listed on many websites to no avail. I'm trying to make the directory /forums be accessible via https://forums.centmc.tk. However, upon travelling to https://forums.centmc.tk, it almost immediately says "forums.centmc.tk's server IP address could not be found." https://centmc.tk works fine, and so does the 301 redirect from https://centmc.tk/forums to https://forums.centmc.tk. I just can't figure out why the subdomain won't work.
I know it's an issue with my httpd-vhosts.conf file, so here's that:
# Virtual Hosts

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerAlias localhost

Thanks for any help in advance! Sorry for the rather large text brick at the top.

Sounds like a DNS problem. If you are running a DNS server on your network, you will need to add an "A" record for the "forums" subdomain. Something like this:
; example.com [448369]
$TTL 86400
# IN SOA ns1.linode.com. admin.example.com. 2013062147 14400 14400 1209600 86400
# MX 10 mail.example.com.
# A ###.###.###.###
mail A ###.###.###.###
www A <put your server IP here>
forums A <put your forums server IP here>
If you're using public DNS servers (like 8.8.8.8, 4.4.4.4, or just your default ISP's DNS servers... you'll need to add a CNAME record to wherever your domain name is registered. (GoDaddy for example). Here's a link to how to do it on GoDaddy: https://www.godaddy.com/help/add-a-subdomain-that-points-to-an-ip-address-4080
I hope that helps.
I am taking over a multi-site Apache server, with two websites (A and B). Going to website A's url via http works fine. Going to the same url, but using https, shows website B. Why is this, and how do I make https://urlA.com go to website A?
I solved the problem.
The servers were set up with VirtualHosts, but there was no VirtualHost for port 443. So it looked something like this:
<VirtualHost 99.9.9.999:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example
ServerName example.com
<Directory "/var/www/example">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Adding a VirtualHost listening on port 443, with the SSLCertFiles specified fixed the problem.
<VirtualHost 99.9.9.999:443>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example
ServerName example.com
<Directory "/var/www/example">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/example.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/_.example.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/conf/gd_example.crt
SSLEngine on
</VirtualHost>
I have an EC2 instance setup running Ubuntu 14.04 and Apache. I have a single elastic IP serving multiple domains and subdomains all of which point to individual folders on the server. The problem I am having is unless the subdomain is explicitly set in my .conf it will redirect to the main domain. I can't seem to find a definitive answer here or in google.
I have a single .conf file residing in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ serving all of the domains and subdomains like so:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin me#mydomain.com
ServerName mydomain.com
ServerAlias www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com
<Directory /var/www/html/mydomain.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin me#mydomain.com
ServerName sub1.mydomian.com
ServerAlias www.sub1.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/sub1.com
<Directory /var/www/html/sub1.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin me#mydomain.com
ServerName sub2.mydomian.com
ServerAlias www.sub2.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/sub2.com
<Directory /var/www/html/sub2.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin me#mydomain.com
ServerName mydomain2.com
ServerAlias www.mydomain2.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain2.com
<Directory /var/www/html/mydomain2.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
So if I go to sub1.mydomain.com or sub2.mydomain.com it gets properly routed. But if I type sub3.mydomain.com which does not exist in my .conf file it gets redirected to mydomain.com. I do not want this behavior. How do I resolve this?
You need to enable name based virtualhosts. Add below line before your first virtual host and restart apache.
NameVirtualHost :80
I've configured my httpd-vhosts.conf file as follows:
<VirtualHost seg.localhost:81>
ServerAdmin my#email.com
DocumentRoot "D:\path\to\public_html"
ServerName http://seg.localhost
ServerAlias http://seg.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/seg.log"
CustomLog "logs/seg" common
<directory "D:\path\to\public_html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from all
</directory>
</VirtualHost>
But when I go to http://localhost:81/ in my browser, it's still hitting that folder. Why is the subdomain ignored?
If you are using name based vhosts, the top-most vhost (the first instance of a <VirtualHost> block) is considered the "default" vhost, meaning that if a request is made for a host that doesn't match any of the given <VirtualHost>'s, the top-most one is used.
You can get around this by adding a new top-most vhost that simply denies everything:
<VirtualHost seg.localhost:81>
ServerName _default_
DocumentRoot "D:\path\to\public_html"
<Directory "D:\path\to\public_html">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Or have it redirect to seg.localhost, or however you want to handle it.
