I've setup a new domain for a small business and they wanted to have https://
in their domains because their previous host provided it by default (previous host had the old domain as well).
When I setup my server config blocks in /etc/apache2/sites-available/
I forwarded all requests to the new domain like so:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# example2 - NEW, example1 - OLD
# Simply redirecting all traffic to https
ServerName example2.com
ServerAlias www.example2.com
ServerAlias example1.com
ServerAlias www.example1.com
Redirect 301 / https://example2.com/
</VirtualHost>
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName example2.com
DocumentRoot /var/www
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/ssl/example2/example2.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/ssl/example2/example2.com.key
SSLCACertificateFile /path/to/ssl/example2/example2.com-bundle
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
# If the old site is arrived at via HTTPS, redirect to new
ServerName example1.com
ServerAlias www.example1.com
Redirect 301 / https://example2.com/
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>
So, requests to http://example2.com and http://example1.com are working and redirecting to https://example.com. BUT, requests to https://example1.com are not redirecting to https://example2.com, instead they're showing that "scary screen" to end users warning them of the fact that the connection may not be private, etc. (Google Chrome)
The DNS zone files for the old domain (example1.com) are pointing to the IP of the example2.com servers and I thought I had my server config done properly. Why is everything redirecting properly EXCEPT for the https:// of the old site?
