Help troubleshooting why Apache is not serving up SSL website

Thanks... I looked at the Apache error log and see:

[Thu May 20 11:57:49 2010] [error] [client 192.168.0.1] PHP Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_HOST in /var/www/html/libraries/joomla/environment/uri.php on line 164

I am using Joomla 1.5.17...

Could this be a coding error in Joomla??

Below is the code in URI.PHP that causes the issue:

// IIS uses the SCRIPT_NAME variable instead of a REQUEST_URI variable... thanks, MS $theURI = 'http' . $https . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];

The section of code is below:

function &getInstance($uri = 'SERVER') { static $instances = array();

    if (!isset ($instances[$uri]))
    {
        // Are we obtaining the URI from the server?
        if ($uri == 'SERVER')
        {
            // Determine if the request was over SSL (HTTPS)
            if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && !empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && (strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) != 'off')) {
                $https = 's://';
            } else {
                $https = '://';
            }

            /*
             * Since we are assigning the URI from the server variables, we first need
             * to determine if we are running on apache or IIS.  If PHP_SELF and REQUEST_URI
             * are present, we will assume we are running on apache.
             */
            if (!empty ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) && !empty ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {

                /*
                 * To build the entire URI we need to prepend the protocol, and the http host
                 * to the URI string.
                 */
                $theURI = 'http' . $https . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

            /*
             * Since we do not have REQUEST_URI to work with, we will assume we are
             * running on IIS and will therefore need to work some magic with the SCRIPT_NAME and
             * QUERY_STRING environment variables.
             */
            }
             else
             {
                // IIS uses the SCRIPT_NAME variable instead of a REQUEST_URI variable... thanks, MS
                $theURI = 'http' . $https . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];

                // If the query string exists append it to the URI string
                if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && !empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
                    $theURI .= '?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
                }
            }

            // Now we need to clean what we got since we can't trust the server var
            $theURI = urldecode($theURI);
            $theURI = str_replace('"', '"',$theURI);
            $theURI = str_replace('<', '&lt;',$theURI);
            $theURI = str_replace('>', '&gt;',$theURI);
            $theURI = preg_replace('/eval\((.*)\)/', '', $theURI);
            $theURI = preg_replace('/[\\\"\\\'][\\s]*javascript:(.*)[\\\"\\\']/', '""', $theURI);
        }
        else
        {
            // We were given a URI
            $theURI = $uri;
        }

        // Create the new JURI instance
        $instances[$uri] = new JURI($theURI);
    }
    return $instances[$uri];
}

Thanks to both Eric and Ronald...

Both the "http.conf" and "ssl.conf" Conf files are attached... I also noticed that the sever is pulling from the "/var/www/html directory" and not the "/home/my-tld/public_html" directory.

I have subtituted "my-tld.com" or "my-tld" for my actual TLD... if that mucks things up then I will send the unedited versions...

Thanks in advance for your assistance....

OK.. so i commented out with # the "NameVirtualHost *". in the "edit config files" under Apache in the server section. Saved it and then restarted Apache. I did it a couple times to make sure.

Attached is the error in the /var/log/httpd/error_log. No errors noted after restart but error after I try to access the SSL website. Also still pulls from the /var/www/html directory for the TLD website instead of public_html directory...

the following shows up in the access_log for Apache

201.120.140.213 - - [03/Jun/2010:16:23:24 -0800] "\x16\x03\x01" 200 21834 "-" "-" 201.120.140.213 - - [03/Jun/2010:16:25:15 -0800] "\x16\x03\x01" 200 21842 "-" "-" 201.120.140.213 - - [03/Jun/2010:16:26:08 -0800] "\x16\x03\x01" 200 21842 "-" "-" 201.120.140.213 - - [03/Jun/2010:16:26:13 -0800] "\x16\x03\x01" 200 21834 "-" "-"

I have the SSL site running in /home/my-tld/secure directory I have the Website running in /home/my-tld/public_html directory Apache pulls from the /var/www/html directory

Since neither of the "virtual sites" appears to be noticed by Apache, I am assuming the Apache config files are messed up.

In the var/log/my-tld/error_log it reads:

[Thu Jun 03 16:50:46 2010] [warn] RSA server certificate is a CA certificate (BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE !?)

Thanks for your help, BTW... :)

VIRTUAL WEBSITES still not working. I commented out the item you suggested in the http.conf file...

still serving webpages from /var/www/html... I even created a different virtual site and it doesn't work either.

So I'm guessing something's got corrupted in the Apache conf files (posted above) so any assistance would be appreciated...

Thank You....
