 Posted: Tue 02 May '23 20:55 Post subject: Help - virtual host throwing 400 error |
 |
|
I have a domain aecperformance.com hosted on a Debian vps running apache2.
There are actually 4 domains total and 3 sub domains under aecperformance.com: app.aecperformance.com; dev.aecperformance.com; api.aecperformance.com.
Everything works except api.aecperformance.com which throws the 400 error.
I can do a dns lookup on api.aecperformance.com and the domain looks correct.
If I wget https://api.aecperformance.com from within the server terminal, I get the same 400 error.
if I run: sudo a2ensite api.aecperformance.com
it returns: Site api.aecperformance.com already enabled
If I run: sudo apachectl configtest
it returns: Syntax OK
Notice below that I named the log files api.error.log and api.access.log.
Those files were generated proving that the conf file was read by apache.
api.error.log is empty, api.access.log shows basic connection information for robots.txt and for index.php.
robots.txt is non-existent.
What is causing the 400 error? Why can't I see the site?
The config file is:
| Code: |
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin mailadm@aecperformance.com
ServerName api.aecperformance.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/api.aecperformance.com
<Directory "/var/www/api.aecperformance.com">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Options -Indexes
Require all granted
</Directory>
DirectoryIndex index.php
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/api.error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/api.access.log combined
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =api.aecperformance.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
|
The file /var/www/api.aecperformance.com/index.php is:
| Code: |
<html>
<head>
<title>Test API</title>
</head>
<body>
test from API
</body>
</html>

| There is a rewrite rule to force ssl/https. Did you configure a SSL vhost for that domain? |

James Blond: thanks for responding.
Yes api.aecperformance.com does have a valid certificate.
If you try to open the url with your browser and click the lock you'll see that the certificate is valid.
Also, if you try to connect to: http://api.aecperformance.com you will be redirected to https://api.aecperformance.com.
This again proves that the conf file is being read by apache.
It didn't matter though. I've tried multiple variations on the conf file. All of them return the 400 error.
The first variation was this:
| Code: |
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin mailadm@aecperformance.com
ServerName api.aecperformance.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/api.aecperformance.com
DirectoryIndex index.php
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/api.error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/api.access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

| Replace the index.php with a index.html and simple content to make sure that it works. If yes we may have to take a look at your PHP configuration in your apache c condig |

Thanks again for responding.
It turns out that the problem was with the certificate.
It's fixed now so we're past the 400 error.
Thanks for your help. |
