Howdy,
What you're looking to do is a bit tricky, unfortunately. Though it may be possible to accomplish something like that.
This hasn't really come up before recently, though just a few days ago someone asked about this for Joomla.
But as things stand now, if you want multiple domains to share the same DocumentRoot, the second domain would typically need to be an alias of the first.
In that case though, the alias domain can't have it's own SSL certificate.
You could instead create the second domain as a Sub-Server, give it an SSL certificate, and enable proxying. That can be setup in Server Configuration -> Edit Proxy Website.
It's not the same as having two domains both pointed at one DocumentRoot, but it should provide the same functionality.
Virtualmin doesn't support having multiple Virtual Servers point at the same DocumentRoot though, unless they're aliases.
In a pinch, you could always edit the Apache config and manually change the DocumentRoot and related directories to point at the same path as your first domain -- that will cause validation issues and warnings in Virtualmin though. However, it should work in spite of the warnings.

Hello Eric,
thanks. I'm solving this right now using a multidomain certificate. This way I have multiple certificates in one file and can add the other domains as alias.

Ah yes, that would work too -- glad to hear you have a solution!
