[K12OSN] Apache webserver question

[Dan Dwelley]

Thanks Les. Port 443 is not added to the top. When using mod_ssl with Apache, The ssl side of things is configured in the ssl.conf file rather than the httpd.conf file. The virtual Hosts are defined by IP:port number and the servername is refined within the Virtual Hosts by domaine name:port.

I've never seen this type of behavior in a webserver.

Thanks again!
Dan

The first virtual host in the config becomes the default site
for requests that don't exactly match a specified
ServerName or ServerAlias.  If you added the port 443 entry
at the top it's possible that your port 80 entry wasn't
really matching but was invoked anyway as a default when
it was the first one.
