How do I use SSL on multiple ports?

Posted on July 18, 2016

Nginx

Hello, I followed the docs on how to install an SSL but I have multiple ports that run on my droplet. I’d actually like to not be limited by which port SSL runs on. Is this possible?

Is it possible to configure “https” in same domain for multiple ports? Like https://example.com:446 https://example.com:447

First you need to tell apache to listen on multiple ports. You can do that by editing the /etc/apache2/ports.conf

Listen 80
<IfModule ssl_module>
        Listen 443
        Listen 444
        Listen 446
</IfModule>

And your virtualhost file should look like this with the port number.

<VirtualHost *:446>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html


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

        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile      /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
</VirtualHost>

Thanks for the answer, but I forgot to mention I was using nginx instead of Apache. How would this change, since I assume I’d be editing the /etc/nginx/sites-available/default file, right?
