two little problems

I have two little problems, who can help me in the right direction?

-- 1 --
phpmyadmin isn't accessible through DA anymore. I run DA under SSL so the link to phpmyadmin is https://domain.com/phpmyadmin. It used to work but it isn't now. When I go to http://domain.com/phpmyadmin it is working.

I think my serveralias isn't working anymore. In httpd.conf for my domain I defined this:
ServerAlias secure.domain.com
It was working but now it isn't anymore. So if I go to https://secure.domain.com i get a "can't find page" page. I have put secure.domain.com in the NS and http://secure.domain.com does work.

Thanks,
Kark

Hello,

1) check your apache logs. /var/log/httpd/error_log /var/log/httpd/domains/domain.com.error.log
also make sure that the Alias is still there in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
also make sure that the directory it points to exists. /var/www/html/phpMyAdmin*

2) make sure you use the custom httpd.conf feature or else any manual changes to the file will be overwritten. Admin Panel -> Admin Settings -> Customize httpd.conf -> domain.com
add:
ServerAlias secure.domain.com
to the text area.

Finally I had some time to look into these little problems. I tried looking further and found that the https of the domain (the admin domainname) doesn't work. On port 2222 the https does work but not on port 443. But in the users httpd.conf there is an entry for port 443.

I have tried to add secure.domain.com to the custom httpd.conf and saw the port 443 entry of the users httpd.conf was gone now.

So I presume that's my problem. I need to add https to the domain. But when I click the "admin's user data" I see: "Secure Socket Layer (ssl) ON".

So now I am lost.
Who can give me a push in the right direction?

Thanks,

Hello,

Is SSL on for that domain?
User Panel -> Advanced Tools -> Domain Administration -> domain.com -> SSL: ON?

What do you get when you go to https on 443? the apache page, or a cannot find server error?

John

Uhm .. .. it wasn't. So I turned it on (I'm really blonde).
Unfortunatly it still doesn't work. I get a "the page cannot be displayed" page.

I have added the alias to the custom httpd.conf.
The https://www.domain.com gives a "cannot be displayed" page although the http://www.domain.com does work.

Hello,

You should be getting the apache page (at least). Your server is probably blocking 443. Turn off any firewalls, and maybe doublecheck with your datacenter that it's open.

John

Ooops again, forgot to add 443 when switching firewall. Opening port 443 did the job. Thanks!
