Hi, I'm new here but I did check the docs and the list archive first.

Both mod_ssl and its predecessor ssleay can support separate certificates
for each virtual host. The catch is that each virtual host must have a
unique IP address as the entire TCP packet payload is encrypted.

The only way to remove ambiguity is to use a unique IP address for each
virtual host that is using SSL to protect the data that is being
transmitted.
This is a gross oversimplification of the process but should give you an
idea why each virtual host that uses SSL to protect data needs a unique IP
address and why you see the error that you report.

Sorry to bang on about this but... if I had a single cert, e.g. one for
*.mydomain.com, will I be able to run multiple name-based virtual hosts
such as www.mydomain.com and thisisanother.mycomain.com on the same IP
address? Maybe (probably!) I missed something, but this would seem to
satisfy both the server and the browser, since the cert will match.
I guess maybe I should run out and cut myself a cert and play with this...
Many thanks,
John.
