I have a total of 5 usable IP addresses available from my host. I've changed the DNS for my domain name, changed my system's network configuration, and added a VirtualHost block in my apache2 config like: <VirtualHost 12.34.56.2:443> ... SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/www.example2.com.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/www.example2.com.key ... </VirtualHost> which is in addition to my previously existing: <VirtualHost 12.34.56.1:443> ... SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/www.example1.com.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/www.example1.com.key ... </VirtualHost> I can see that pings to www.example2.com are resolved as 12.34.56.2 and http://www.example2.com works fine, but https://www.example2.com still receives the www.example1.com SSL cert in firefox and opera. Can anyone tell me what else I need to do to serve the correct SSL cert for each domain? - Grant --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
