[Howto] Automatic https and http for the same domain - aseques - 07-20-2009 07:06 PM
I had a request from a customer asking for a typical setup with ssl and not ssl virtualhosts
Basically in the default layout, it creates a ssl enabled folder, and the content there can ONLY be viewed under ssl.
What I did was to alter the ispcp-dmn-mngr so this folder gets created and ready to use.
The other part is to alter the apache templates, so it can serve both contents.
NOTE:
This setup will work with ONE certificate for the whole server, so there will be warnings about wrong certicates.
The ssl part is useful only if you want to have a LowCost SSL area. The other part is mostly useful so your customers can access without knowing the ip/hostname of the server.
I put together a page on the wiki explaining the details, it shoud be easy to follow, even on a already installed system.
http://www.isp-control.net/documentation/howto/both_https_and_not_https_when_creating_a_domain
Please post any problems suggestions about this in this thread.
This has been tested with 1.0.3.1 and 1.0.4 branch, it might work in older setups too, but it's not recommended.
Cheers.
UPDATE
This is the patched ispcp-dmn-mngr for 1.0.4

This is the OLD patched ispcp-dmn-mngr for 1.0.3.1

Notes
There used to be a patch here, but after the bind error in 1.0.3.1 (http://www.isp-control.net/forum/thread-9117.html) I updated the posted ispcp-dmn-mngr to match the stable one.

Hello Aseques
Do you know if would it be possible to get ssl and non ssl content in the same folder?
I mean without creating an extra folder.
Beste regards

I created this method to help with a migration from plesk, and this is the way it works over there.
To be able to view the content both in ssl and not ssl, it's even simpler. You should do the following:
.- Don't patch the ispcp-dmn-mngr (and so the htsdocs folder won't be created)
.- Modify the apache 443 virtualhost so it reads the content of the folder htdocs instead of htsdocs
That should work, you won't be able to restrict to ssl only for any part of the site tough.
Cheers

Easy to do with mod_rewrite, just google for it

Many thanks for the answers guys.
P.D. Hi Kilburn, Why do you have such a name? Are you from Kilburn London NW?
I lived there for 5 years some time ago

No, I'm not. I chose this nick *many* years ago, before knowing that such a city existed. Despite that, I managed to go there and take some photos when I went to visit some friends from Manchester!

In any case I updated the post with the already patched version.

You mention that “the downside of this approach is that there will be separate cached copies for both the HTTP and HTTPS based URLs. If a vistor to your site first uses a non-secure HTTP based URL and then switches to HTTPS they would have to download fresh copies of resources that had already been accessed over HTTP.”
