Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : SSL Setup Question

[SBS Marketing]

I setup an SSL cert for: https://hosting.surftucson.com

My problem is when you go to that above mentioned link, your browser will load with the page located at www.surftucson.com not hosting.surftucson.com (although your address bar will show https://hosting.surftucson.com)

What did I screw up and is it fixable? Obviously I can still get secured to the address I need by going to: https://hosting.surftucson.com/hosting/ but that is somewhat of a pain.

Using CPanel.

Thanks,

Mark

No SSL experts out there?

Did you add this in a control panel, or did you do it yourself?

Did it myself through Cpanel

You'll have to manually edit your httpd.conf to point to the correct directory. Look for your SSL virtual host in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf. It will start with this line:

<VirtualHost your_IP_here:443>

Look for and change these two lines:

DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html/
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/

Add the directory so that they look like:

DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html/hosting
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/username/public_html/hosting/cgi-bin/

After making your changes restart apache.
