general - Apache Virtual Host for subdomain

Hi, I have an issue with Apache Virtual hosts. I installed a web server and mail server. Apache, PHP, MySQL and Postfix Dovecot ClamAV Amadis Spamassasin a RoundCube for Webmail on a Centos 6 box.

Now, my issue is that I have my DNS like this:

@ x.x.x.x A record
www domain dot com CNAME
webmail domain dot com CNAME



Now, I can access my email via web using roundcube like this: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)

However, when I try to access (URL address blocked: See forum rules) it redirects me to the default page when an index is not found.

My Virtual host configuration is like this:



I believe there is something with my vhost configuartion above, however, cant figure it out, since I have read a lot and all the vhost files seems to be exactly like mine. So, I can't get webmail dot domain dot com to go to my roundcube webmail and I ahve been fighting with this all day long.

Can someone help me with this, if you need further information, please let me know. Also, even if I use http, it changes it to https... I generated self signed certificates for my email access. For apache SSL conf I have these lines:

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

# General setup for the virtual host, inherited from global configuration
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
ServerName (URL address blocked: See forum rules):443

# Use separate log files for the SSL virtual host; note that LogLevel
# is not inherited from httpd conf.
ErrorLog logs/ssl_error_log
TransferLog logs/ssl_access_log
LogLevel warn


Of course there is more, but I believe that info may be enough. Please, can someone help me with this?

Sorry for the domain dot com but due to forum rules, since I am a new member I cant use URLs, so hope you understand. Regards.

I, for one, can't really tell what you're saying without those URLs. Yeah it's inconvenient, we know. How about doing the "www dot domain dot com" thing for those?

Thank you for your reply. thats what I did, if you see... instead of a . there is a dot

For a couple, yes. But there's also

I am sorry for that, Here is my entire post again:

I was checking SSL logs and found this:}

Not sure if it is related, but it must be, cause that is the only error I can find when trying to access webmail dot domain dot com

Well I didnt receive any reply. but after reading and reading keep trying I was able to resolve this issue. This was caused by this:

When I tried to access webmail.domain.com it changed to https, that is because roundcube configuration was configured to force ssl, so basically instead of using virtual host *:80 for webmail.domain.com it was using the virtual host listed at ssl.conf which had _default_:443 and it had documentroot set to the folder that was appearing when I tried to access webmai.domain.com instead of the roundcube web interface. SO I just changed the documentroot in that _default_:443 virtual host container to point to roundcube. Next time I need another SSL virtual host will modify that, but for the moment it is working now. HOpe this helps somebody else.
