Shared SSL

[cmurphy@]

We run a dedicated box, one which we host reseller accounts on.

One of our resellers wants to offer his clients shared SSL.

I have tried getting this to work using the following method.

create symbolic link from reseller_domain/httpsdocs/client_dir

to

/home/httpd/vhosts/my_resellers_customers_domain.com/httpdocs


then chown the newly created /reseller_domain/httpsdocs/his_clients_direstory to both the resellers and the clients username.psaserv

However no matter who i chown it to, it wont work.

Can anyone please tell me how this is done?

Did you purchase a wildcard certificate or one for a single domain?

 

[cmurphy@]

actually i have this working except one small bug.

firstly its not a wildcard cert, hence needing to use /web_user/client as the symlinked directory.

However, creating the symlink from reseller.com/web_users/~client to /client.com/httpsdocs does work there is still one small problem.

If you go to https://reseller.com/~client without putting the /index.html on it, your are instantly redirected to https://reseller.com

Any ideas?

also, setting up shared SSL this way has a HUGE problem which i need help with ASAP.

The secure documents wont run as php, the scripts display on screen as text.

How do i fix this?

Check these links:
https://www.ztatic.com/~icommercial

which is a symlinked folder to

/home/httpd/vhosts/icommercialfinancing.com/httpsdocs

mod_rewrite is probably the easiest method, here is how I do it.

First add secure.yourdomain.com to Plesk (as a domain, not a subdomain).

in /home/httpd/vhosts/secure.yourdomain.com/conf place these

vhost.conf:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond     %{HTTPS}        off
RewriteRule     (.*)            https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R]

(redirects all non-HTTPS requests to HTTPS)

vhost_ssl.conf:

SSLProxyEngine  on
SSLProxyVerify  none

RewriteEngine   on
RewriteMap      lowercase int:tolower

RewriteCond     /home/httpd/vhosts/${lowercase:$1}      -d
RewriteRule     ^/([^.]+\.[^\/]+)(.*)                   https://${lowercase:$1}$2 [P]

(enables Apache SSL proxy engine, tests /home/httpd/vhosts/theirdomain.com exists and proxies the request through to https://theirdomain.com/ internally.

then execute

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --vhost-name=secure.yourdomain.com
