Hello

I'm trying to configure a server to host multiple sites off a single IP, where one of them is configured for SSL. Easy-peasy so far, but I've found that attempting to visit a non-SSL site via HTTPS results in the unrelated SSL site being displayed instead. Unfortunately all our sites are for different clients so I don't feel that this is an acceptable situation to be in.

The common answer from the internet is to get a separate IP for the SSL site, but I'm not having much luck convincing Linode Support of the difference between something being technically possible and being commercially unacceptable. I totally understand and appreciate the problems with the impending IPv4 exhaustion.

I'm running Apache2 on Ubuntu 12.04, any help in stopping the domain crossover would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Barry

Your SSL site sounds like it is set to be the default SSL site for your Apache installation -- so it is displayed in response to requests that do not match a specific URL. Change the default site to be something like 'not found' or a redirect and create a specific SSL config for your actual SSL site.
