ISSUE:
I have a virtual hosts file with several domains pointing to a sub-directory.
I renewed an SSL certificate for one of the domains and it now directs to the root folder. 

I tried following this thread but nothing seemed to help:
https://community.bitnami.com/t/virtual-hosts-stopped-working-after-adding-ssl/84613

Please advise!
Thanks

Hi @robski25,

Thanks for using Bitnami. Can you tell us which virtualhost is not working properly? I visited all the websites listed in the /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/conf/httpd-vhosts.conf file and I got a valid SSL certificate for all of them. Did you manage to fix your issue?

Hi, thanks for helping out!

I may have incorrectly stated my issue. Here's a more detailed version:

I have 2 domains that were redirecting to a sub-directory
I renewed an SSL for one of them: "cityadventures.uk"
after the renewal, this domain stopped pointing to the sub-folder and started pointing to the root folder instead
the other domain "lego-city" which was also pointing to the same sub-folder, i had not renewed the SSL and it continues to work fine.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi @robski25,

Thanks for the info. Can you tell us how did you renew the SSL certificate?

I visited your website using curl and Apache is redirecting it to another domain. Is that what you are trying to avoid?

Yes. That's what i'm trying to avoid. That domain should be going to the sub-folder as written in the VHosts file.

I renewed the SSL using the bncert tool. I've done this before and did run into issues like this.

Hi @robski25,

Thanks for the info. I checked your bnsupport bundle and I think I found an issue. Can you update the next line in the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/httpd.conf file?

Replace

ServerName VirtualHost *:80

With

ServerName localhost:80

And then restart Apache?

sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
