Question
Second virtual host not working

Asked by artctrldelinfob0d23996f849
Hi,
I try to set a second virtual host up on the same droplet. I have a LAMP stack.
The second virtual host points to the first site which I don’t want it to.
My /etc/apache2/sites-available/artctrldel.shop.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.artctrldel.shop
ServerAlias artctrldel.shop
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/artctrldel.shop
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVERNAME} =www.artctrldel.shop [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVERNAME} =artctrldel.shop
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVERNAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
My DNS records: A to IP, A to IP with www, 3 ns to Digital Ocean, AAAA to IP, AAAA to IP with www.
I have pointed my DNS from namecheap (my domain) to Digital Oceans nameservers.
Any help on how to get my second site up will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Ben

Hi there,
It looks like that you have an HTTP to HTTPS redirect defined in your Vhost, however, the domain name does not have a SSL certificate installed.
You would need to first remove these lines here:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVERNAME} =www.artctrldel.shop [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVERNAME} =artctrldel.shop
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVERNAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
Then restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
After that follow the steps from this tutorial here on how to install a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate:
After that during the installation certbot will ask you if you want to setup the redirect again.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
