I have a bit of a weird problem that I'd like some help tracking down.
I'm pretty sure it's something with Apache. In my Apache 2.4.25 (cPanel)
config file, I have the ServerAliases disabled. There's a "catch-all"
entry for unbound IPs, that look like this:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName myhostname.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerAdmin [email protected]
<IfModule suphp_module>
suPHP_UserGroup nobody nobody
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
Further down, I have a VirtualHost entry for mydomain.com, which has a
DocumentRoot of /home/<myusername>/public_html
I setup a test file,
/home/<myusername>/public_html/.well-known/acme-challenge/test that says
www.mydomain.com-test.
Then I setup another test file,
/var/www/html/.well-known/acme-challenge/test that says
myhostname.mydomain.com-test
I have .htaccess files in /home/<myusername>/public_html that redirect all
traffic to secure ports. I have cPanel installed and have manually setup
subdomains for the various cPanel stuff.
Anyway, when I run the following command on the remote server:
curl http://www.mydomain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/test
I see the 301 redirect. When I run:
curl https://www.mydomain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/test
I see the:
www.mydomain.com-test
However, when I run those commands on my local Linux box instead of the
remote server that's running Apache, I see:
curl http://www.mydomain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/test
myhostname.mydomain-test
curl https://www.mydomain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/test
www.mydomain.com-test
It's not just curl, lynx, the command line web browser, does the same
thing. On the remote computer that's running Apache, for some reason, I'm
seeing different results than I am when I run the commands on my local
Linux box.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Ken Swarthout
