I want to make an application running on apache2 (ubuntu) available over the internet. So i decided to setup virtual host after purchasing a SSL certificate. Everything works fine on my Local network.

When I visit 172.16.2.28/moodle (on local network), Everything works fine.

When I also visit example.com, I am served the default index.php from (/var/www/html)

But when I visit example.com/moodle over public internet, the browser redirects to 172.16.2.28/moodle (with error 404)

What am I doing wrong.

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html



        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

                                SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
                </Directory>

                     Require all granted

                 </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

moodle/config.php (could the problem be from here?)

<?php  // Moodle configuration file

unset($CFG);
global $CFG;
$CFG = new stdClass();

$CFG->dbtype    = 'mariadb';
$CFG->dblibrary = 'native';
$CFG->dbhost    = '172.16.0.30';
$CFG->dbname    = 'xxx';
$CFG->dbuser    = 'xxx';
$CFG->dbpass    = 'xxx';
$CFG->prefix    = 'mdl_';
$CFG->dboptions = array (
  'dbpersist' => 0,
  'dbport' => '',
  'dbsocket' => '',
  'dbcollation' => 'utf8mb4_general_ci',
);

$CFG->wwwroot   = 'http://172.16.0.30/moodle';
$CFG->dataroot  = '/var/www/moodledata';
$CFG->admin     = 'xxx';

$CFG->directorypermissions = 0777;

require_once(__DIR__ . '/lib/setup.php');

// There is no php closing tag in this file,
// it is intentional because it prevents trailing whitespace problems!

    There are no redirects there. It sounds like your redirect is coming from Moodle.

Moodle redirects you exactly how you configured it:

$CFG->wwwroot   = 'http://172.16.0.30/moodle';

Change that line to the proper URL:

$CFG->wwwroot   = 'https://example.com/moodle';

  • Thanks @GeraldSchneider . It works now. But I still get some error in console. Mixed Content: The page at 'lms.xxx.com/moodle' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image '172.16.0.30/moodle/?redirect=0'. This content should also be served over HTTPS. Any Idea?

  • Check the developer tools of your browser which images are affected, find out where their URLs come frome and correct them.
