I want to make an application running on apache2 (ubuntu) available over the internet. So i decided to setup virtual host after purchasing a SSL certificate. Everything works fine on my Local network.

When I visit 172.16.2.28/moodle (on local network), Everything works fine.

When I also visit example.com, I am served the default index.php from (/var/www/html)

But when I visit example.com/moodle over public internet, the browser redirects to 172.16.2.28/moodle (with error 404)

What am I doing wrong.

000-default.conf

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined </VirtualHost>

default-ssl.conf

<IfModule mod_ssl.c> <VirtualHost _default_:443> ServerAdmin [email protected] ServerName lms.xxx.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /home/vlms/sslcert/cert.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/vlms/sslcert/cert.key <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$"> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </FilesMatch> <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </Directory> <Directory /var/www/html/> Options +FollowSymlinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost> </IfModule>

moodle/config.php (could the problem be from here?)

<?php // Moodle configuration file unset($CFG); global $CFG; $CFG = new stdClass(); $CFG->dbtype = 'mariadb'; $CFG->dblibrary = 'native'; $CFG->dbhost = '172.16.0.30'; $CFG->dbname = 'xxx'; $CFG->dbuser = 'xxx'; $CFG->dbpass = 'xxx'; $CFG->prefix = 'mdl_'; $CFG->dboptions = array ( 'dbpersist' => 0, 'dbport' => '', 'dbsocket' => '', 'dbcollation' => 'utf8mb4_general_ci', ); $CFG->wwwroot = 'http://172.16.0.30/moodle'; $CFG->dataroot = '/var/www/moodledata'; $CFG->admin = 'xxx'; $CFG->directorypermissions = 0777; require_once(__DIR__ . '/lib/setup.php'); // There is no php closing tag in this file, // it is intentional because it prevents trailing whitespace problems!

    There are no redirects there. It sounds like your redirect is coming from Moodle. Commented Aug 18, 2020 at 0:55
  • @MichaelHampton Thanks for your response, I edited the post. I added the moodle/config.php file, please see if you can figure out where i went wrong. Thanks Commented Aug 18, 2020 at 7:13

Moodle redirects you exactly how you configured it:

$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://172.16.0.30/moodle';

Change that line to the proper URL:

$CFG->wwwroot = 'https://example.com/moodle';

  • Thanks @GeraldSchneider . It works now. But I still get some error in console. Mixed Content: The page at 'lms.xxx.com/moodle' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image '172.16.0.30/moodle/?redirect=0'. This content should also be served over HTTPS. Any Idea?

  • Check the developer tools of your browser which images are affected, find out where their URLs come frome and correct them. Commented Aug 18, 2020 at 15:24
