Hello, my skills with Linux/Apache are pretty novice but I’ve setup many basic web servers over the years and have quite a bit of experience creating vhost files and deploying sites. I have run into a problem I’ve never experienced and I just cannot figure out a solution.
I have a Wordpress blog/small ecommerce site that I run on a DigitalOcean droplet. A friend of mine initially set it up a few years ago because I needed SSL and I wasn’t familiar with how to do that. Anyway, he got it setup and working just fine. This past week I wanted to add another site to the server. I created a new vhost file in sites-available, enabled it, reloaded/restarted Apache and tried to hit the URL. Whenever I go to the URL of the new site it just redirects to the original site.
Myself and another person spent a couple hours last night trying to figure out what was going on and, on a whim, I just decided to combine the two vhost files and it started working. That was late last night and I went to bed. Started working on it again this morning and it’s again redirecting to the original site. The only odd thing I noticed about the original setup is that there are two vhosts and both are enabled. I’ll put contents of each vhost below. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
