unexpected vhost/ssl behavior

[worksmarter]

Here is my example. I assumed some humans might be fallible, so I had registered some URL's similar to the following.

politics4real.com
politicsforeal.com
politicsforreal.com

Note the second one is mispelled, it is missing one of its "R's".

Strangely enough when I set up my vhosts override for SSL, the first above works fine, and I can pick one of the two below it and things work as expected, but if I try and add the last one in, it breaks the entire server - no sites can resolve anything. It acts as if there is some sort of wildcard that get's messed up when all three are set up - not to mention it breaks all of the other ordinary domains in Sentora when I save the vhost. Any ideas? Here is the type of override I am using:

Code:

SSLEngine on SSLProtocol ALL -SSLv2 -SSLv3 SSLHonorCipherOrder On SSLCipherSuite ECDH+AESGCM:DH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:DH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES:ECDH+3DES:DH+3DES:RSA+AESGCM:RSA+AES:RSA+3DES:!aNULL:!MD5:!DSS SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/politicsforreal.com/cert.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/politicsforreal.com/privkey.pem SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/politicsforreal.com/chain.pem # Keeping bellow for future upgrades. # Requires Apache >= 2.4 # SSLCompression off

And yes, I am running the daemon and restarting Apache after I set up each domain, including the others. Any help would be much appreciated, as it is sort of confusing why this is happening.

Hey buddy!
I would just do a 301 permanent redirect from the extra domains to the correct https://domain (No SSL on the extra domains since they redirect to the proper SSL'd domain)

Or, am I missing something in your question?

301 at the DNS servers, or in an .htaccess file? I had trouble getting .htaccess files to work right, just like not being able to remove the index.php in nextcloud - I am still working that issue...

No worries I did it in DNS, but that is an odd problem - like Apache is trying to get smart with misspellings! lol

In the httpd-vhosts.conf file using custom vhost entries.
I think the custom vhost way is quicker and a more direct approach for redirect vs .htaccess where it goes to that domains's folder, reads the .htaccess, then redirects to where you want it. (Basically it needs to load an extra site before redirecting.)

I am thinking I cut out even more of the middleman by making the 301 redirect as DNS entries. It will get the proper address before even trying to access my server, no?

Yes, I believe that would be even faster! I haven't played around with it that way, yet lol
