Hi there.

I have Apache 1.x running with a number of VirtualHosts. Recently, the need has arisen for me to offer secure communications on one of my VirtualHosts (on the whole website once the user has authenticated, not just a /members/ area)

So, in my Apache config, I now have two virtualhost sections for the same website, bith identical except that one has the SSL related directives in it, and the Virtualhost directive looks like

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName mydomain.com
...
</VirtualHost>

For the first one, and:

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName mydomain.com
...
</VirtualHost>

for the second one, with all the custom error pages, etc identical in both. This seems cumbersome, but I can't find an answer anwhere as to whether I can combin the two into one single directive that can handle both port 80 and 443 traffic.

Am I doing this correctly? It seems like alot of duplication in each respective section with the loggin, custom error pages, aliases, all existing in both locations.

Thanks for any input!

I think what you have done is how you're meant to do it. One file tree accessed with two different behaviours, depending on the connection port, requires two virtual hosts.
