Dear debian-users,

I have 2 woody boxes, one has apache+php and the other has
apache-ssl+php.
Physical space is tight, and neither of these boxes are ever very busy, I'd like to combine them.

Are there any problem with these apps co-existing ?
Do they need to have the same hostname ?

Certificates aside, are there any pitfalls I should watch for ?

thanks

You can either use apache-ssl or apache + libapache-mod-ssl.
These are two different things, but I have used both and they work. As a matter of preference, I would choose the mod-ssl route. That is primarily because then there is only one apache config to mess with. With apache and apache-ssl, there are two configs, two services, and so on.

If I want HTTP and HTTPS have different host names, does this lend
preference to either apache-ssl or the mod-ssl ?

I have been trying to do something similar on my woody box. I believe it should be possible to do by using virtual hosts so long as you do not set up the virtual hosts as named hosts ie use different IP addresses when using SSL. This I believe is due to SSL certificates being possibly IP based?

I succeeded with apache in setting this up but not with apache-ssl as I had problems with the certificates.
