NameVirtualHost fails
I'm using SUSE Leap 15.3 and apache2. I'm trying to get SSL to work on two hosts with the same IP address. My vhosts.config is set for the two hosts but only one actually runs. When I run systemctl status apache2.service I get a message that NameVirtualHost has no effect and will be removed. So the configuration only works if I have just one host.

What key detail am I missing in the network configuration?

Thanks,

That directive has no effect, it's not the cause of any issue.

What are your Listen directives?
What do your virtualHosts look like?
What test requests do you send and how do they fail?

RE: NameVirtualHost fails [ In reply to ]
You are missing something called virtual hosts. You are allowed one host but
you can have many virtual hosts. Secondly, you should be using Leap 15.4, it
sounds like you are out of date, sorry to say.



If you go to your httpd.conf file then you will notice that there is a
enable virtual hosts #include virtual hosts.conf httpd-vhosts.conf so
uncomment it remove the #

Re: NameVirtualHost fails [ In reply to ]
That is one assumption, sure. Best to have the user run apachectl -S to
confirm. For all we know, they could have defined invalid vhosts.

Re: NameVirtualHost fails [ In reply to ]
What does the error log say, exactly? Note that TLS failures can be almost
silent in the logs, so if a single vhost causes the startup error, then
check the certificate.

Re: NameVirtualHost fails [ In reply to ]
I've tried several variations but basically the error message is that the certificate and the key for example2.com <http://example2.com/> don't match. I thought I had set up the certificate with the proper keys so something must be screwed up with the certificate. I'm working on that.

Re: NameVirtualHost fails [ In reply to ]
this is how my ssl, vhosts, redirects are setup maybe this will help

note any ssl website name MUST equal a valid certificate or you will get
a cert mismatch error !!

granted there are several cert authorities (free ssl etc) i have found
its just easier to get a resale account (lots of providers opensrs,
certigo, thwarte etc etc) and pay the 10.00 per cert.

cert would be ok for www.xxx.com xnd xxx.com (aka you typically only
need one certificate per site.)

not pushing any provider, just saying letsencrypt etc does not always
work reliabily or speed issues....

RE: NameVirtualHost fails [EXT] [ In reply to ]
Lets encrypt is reliable from our point of view - never had an issue with it - we occasionally have issues when renewing certs - we have about 90 of them - but that is mainly with the "fake-manual" process of updating DNS which is not 100% reliable with the changes we make.

In use speed should be no different from any other cert - as long as you have the appropriate intermediates and your browser has the right root certs.

You can also create a cert with multiple SANs so you may only need one cert anyway.
