Thanks! sierracircle your suggestion worked perfectly. Just wondering if the site could automatically load without the www prefix for both http and https, so if someone types www.domain.com the server would send the visitor to domain.com on either the https or the http variant of the site. Thanks again for the help.

Worked Beautifully! Thank you for sharing!

Within the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled subdirectory there is a .conf file titled 000-default.conf, its pretty much this.

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName domain.com
        ServerAlias www.domain.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName domain.com
        ServerAlias www.domain.com

        # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port t$
        # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
        # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
        # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
        # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
        # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
        # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.

        ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile /home/me/domain.com.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/me/domain.com.key
        SSLCACertificateFile  /home/me/domain.com.crt

        # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
        # error, crit, alert, emerg.
        # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
        # modules, e.g.
        #LogLevel info ssl:warn


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

        # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
        # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
        # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
        # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
        # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
        #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>

# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

unsure if there is something that was not specified or left out accidentally. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you again, will try this as soon as we've gotten the website migrated over to the production server. Much appreciated.

I am having the exact same problem and I have not seen a solution anywhere within the DO community.

Hi,

well I have same issue you mentioned and just figured it, here is steps:

1. open you default-ssl.conf file and paste this code (inside VirtualHost *:443)

<Directory /var/www/html>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
                        Require all granted
        </Directory>

your default-ssl.conf should like this:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
        <VirtualHost *:443>
                ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
                ServerName zumidia.com:443
                DocumentRoot /var/www/html
        <Directory /var/www/html>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
                        Require all granted
        </Directory>

..... REST OF THE FILE CODE .....

Save the fie and exit editor

1. disable site like: a2dissite default-ssl.conf
2. Restart apache like: service apache2 reload
3. Now enable site like: a2ensite default-ssl.conf 5 Restart apache again like: service apache2 reload

It did the trick for me.
