Dear debian-users,
I have 2 woody boxes, one has apache+php and the other has 
     

apache-ssl+php.
   

Physical space is tight, and neither of these boxes are ever very 
busy, I'd like to combine them.

Are there any problem with these apps co-existing ?
Do they need to have the same hostname ?
Certificates aside, are there any pitfalls I should watch for ?
thanks
     

You can either use apache-ssl or apache + libapache-mod-ssl.
These are two different things, but I have used both and they 
work.  As a matter of preference, I would choose the mod-ssl 
route.  That is primarily because then there is only one 
apache config to mess with.  With apache and apache-ssl, 
there are two configs, two services, and so on.

If I want HTTP and HTTPS have different host names, does this lend
preference to either apache-ssl or the mod-ssl ?

I have been trying to do something similar on my woody box. I believe it 
should be possible to do by using virtual hosts so long as you do not 
set up the virtual hosts as named hosts ie use different IP addresses 
when using SSL. This I believe is due to SSL certificates being possibly 
IP based?

I succeeded with apache in setting this up but not with apache-ssl as I 
had problems with the certificates.
