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

That's the config file for Apache listening on port 80. However, HTTPS is delivered via port 443. It's likely that you have a rogue site remapping port 443 to the default directory (Possibly even Apache's own /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf).

  • Thank you for your reply! When we tried <VirtualHost *.443 *:80> we got a ssl duplicate error. We need both 80 and 443 for the site, i.e. 80 for 98% of the content and 443 for only secure credit card transactions. Jun 3, 2016 at 0:39

You need to determine which conf files are being loaded (likely conf/*.conf , vhost/*.conf .. trace it from the httpd.conf). Apache is reading multiple conf files, one of them already has a :443 that is listening on port 443. You only need the SSL configuration in the 2nd block/conf file for the :443 listener (this is why you are getting a default page, you don't have anything configured in the current default ssl conf).

  • Thank you for your support. I've just posted more details above. I'm not sure how to determine which file config is getting in the way. Any tips on tracing which file is loading 443? Jun 3, 2016 at 3:57
