Thank you in advance for your support! We have been working on this for a couple days, lots of research and no luck with a solution.
Our web server is running on centos6 with apache (httpd-2.2.15-53) and mod_ssl using vhosts in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts/*.conf directory.
After setting up the ssl certs, and editing /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf, and /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts/example.conf (see below), now when we access the site via https://example.com we get the default Apache 2 Test Page. If we remove the /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf file and restart httpd we see the contents of the /var/www/html directory, which is the DocumentRoot in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file.
Whats did we miss in our setup that is causing https://example.com to redirect to the default Apache 2 Test Page?
Here is the vhost file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /home/www/example
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias example.com www.example.com
DirectoryIndex index.php
ErrorLog logs/example.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/example.com-access_log common
