Re: [PLUG] OT: Apache configuration question

[philip@infosculpture.com (Philip Ravenscroft)]

You want 'name based' virtual hosting.  (see the apache docs, but basically, create two <VirtualHost> entries with the requisite ServerName entries)  It uses the Host: header in the http request to determine which virtual to pass the request off to.  

This will not work with https:// because there is a chicken and egg problem: the server needs to decode the secure request in order to determine the Host: header's contents, but it needs the Host: header to decode the secure request.
