First, thank you for sharing Uniform Server. It is great!

 

I have used Uniform Server to set up 5 Joomla powered sites on one IP address using name based virtualhosts. I am attempting to set it up so that the sites are served via port 80, but allow login and administrator (backend) access via ssl port 443. I have read and followed the example on the wiki. I installed mod_ssl using the file posted. I edited httpd.conf to specify that the virtualhosts use port 80 by appending ":80" to each virtualhost. I edited ssl.conf using the examples provided, removing the default_secure virtualhost, and adding virtualhosts for each of my sites. I comented out Require valid-user for each.

 

My problem: When I try to access the first virtualhost site via ssl, I am taken to the login for the second site's login page.

 

I would be most appreciative for any input.

 

Thanks,

 

J

My ssl.conf looks like this:

Problem solved. I inserted a virtualhost directive first in the list for default_secure. Now, I am running my Joomla sites over port 80 with users and administrators l9ogging in ssl port 443. If you took the time to read this - please accept my apology for taking up your time. I am bumbling through this and slowly learning.

 

Cheers!!
