Dear group, I have two web applications (a,b) that are both reachable via subdomains:
a.example.com <http://a.example.com/> b.example.com <http://b.example.com/> For b.example.com <http://b.example.com/> exists a SSL certificate. a.example.com <http://a.example.com/> does not need SSL. The HTTPS connector uses a a Java keystore with the certificate. I configured Apache Tomcat 8.0.20 with Virtual Hosting. CATALINA_HOME/webapps_a CATALINA_HOME/webapps_b The server.xml has been adjusted. <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="b"> <Host name="a" appBase="webapps_a" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"> ... </Host> <Host name="b" appBase="webapps_b" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"> ... </Host> </Engine> Both web apps are deployed using ROOT.war. They get unpacked and there are no errors in the log files. Here is my problem. b works fine, but I can't reach a. curl -I http://a.example.com <http://a.example.com/> HTTP/1.1 302 Found Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Cache-Control: private Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 CET Location: https://a.example.com <https://a.example.com/> Content-Length: 0 Date: Mon, 01 Feb 2016 13:52:32 GMT curl -I http://b.example.com <http://b.example.com/> HTTP/1.1 302 Found Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Cache-Control: private Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 CET Location: https://b.example.com <https://b.example.com/> Content-Length: 0 Date: Mon, 01 Feb 2016 13:52:54 GMT The redirect sets Location to https. I know this can't work because I have no certificate for srv.grasmueck.de <http://srv.grasmueck.de/> nor do I need https. And I see the web application `b` instead of `a` despite the error. Do I need a Apache HTTPD fronted? Thanks for the support! I appreciate it. Björn
