SSL on server IP?

[jlounds]

Hello,

I only have limited IPs available from my provider, so I am trying to be careful on how I assign them.

This is for a Virtual Dedicated Server customer, and they only need to two SSL certs. I set up the first one just fine on the second IP I assigned.

There won't be anymore hosting accounts set up (at least for awhile) and I was hoping to be able to set up a SSL certificate on the "server IP", otherwise I will be using another IP.

Any way to do that?

Thanks in advance!

DirectAdmin won't let you do that.

If you know enough about rewriting the user-level httpd.conf, and know how to chattr it immutable afterwards so DA won't change it, you might be able to get it to work, but you'd be on your own.

Thanks for the info, Jeff. I am familiar with Apache config files, and I did make the changes I needed using symbolic links and what not.

But I am not sure what "chattr" is... could you point me to more info on that? I assume it is something that may over-write the changes I made, so I better do my homework!

Thanks again,

Jeremy

chattr = change attributes
immutable = state cannot be modified

chattr +i filename = file cannot be modified until chattr -i filename is done.
