2. Is name based virtual host supports SSL?
3. If yes, then how.
HTTPS cannot work with named vhosts. You need a dedicated
IP address or different TCP port numbers for every HTTPS site
you want to host.
This is clearly explained in the apache ssl faq:
sir, can u plz clarify these part mentioned below "multiple ports (eg:
running ssl)" and how to achieve it and also can u tell me the Maximum
number of name based virtual hosts apache supports?
To use name-based virtual hosting, you must designate the IP address (and
possibly port) on the server that will be accepting requests for the hosts.
This is configured using the
NameVirtualHost<
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost>directive.
In the normal case where any and all IP addresses on the server
should be used, you can use * as the argument to
NameVirtualHost<
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost>.
If you're planning to use multiple ports (e.g. running SSL) you should add a
Port to the argument, such as *:80. Note that mentioning an IP address in a
NameVirtualHost<
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost>directive
does not automatically make the server listen to that IP address.
See Setting which addresses and ports Apache
uses<
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/bind.html>for more details. In
addition, any IP address specified here must be
associated with a network interface on the server.
