Is it technically possible to setup multiple Django sites using a single SSL certificate on a single IP address with Apache?

Below is an excerpt from my SSL config:

Alias /media/ x:/home/djang-apps/myapp WSGIScriptAlias / x:/home/djang-apps/myapp/apache/django.wsgi <Directory x:/home/djang-apps/> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

One of the issues I've come up against is since I only have a single IP address I have only 1 virtual host therefore how can I reference the varius media folders that contain the css/images/js etc for each Django website as well as the WSGIScriptAlias for each site?

I currently have a wild card certificate for *.foo.com

So I would like to be able to add several sites in this fashion:

website1.foo.com website2.foo.com website3.foo.com

You'll need to configure a NameVirtualHost directive, and configure a VirtualHost for each different domain.

For example:

NameVirtualHost *:443 <VirtualHost *:443> ServerName app1.foo.com ServerAlias www.app1.foo.com SSLEngine On SSLCertificateFile x:/path/to/cert.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile x:/path/to/cert.key # Any other basic config, logging, etc.. DocumentRoot x:/home/djang-apps/app1 # Any other document mapping; that Alias directive, WSGIScriptAlias, etc </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:443> ServerName app2.foo.com ServerAlias www.app2.foo.com SSLEngine On SSLCertificateFile x:/path/to/cert.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile x:/path/to/cert.key # Any other basic config, logging, etc.. DocumentRoot x:/home/djang-apps/app2 # Any other document mapping; that Alias directive, WSGIScriptAlias, etc </VirtualHost>

Apache may do some whining during startup about Server Name Indication, which you can safely ignore since you're using a wildcard certificate (just make sure that the SSL directives in each vhost all point to the wildcard cert).

  • many thanks, I had managed to get it to work before you answered my question, however Apache was complaining so I thought I was doing something wrong, but now I know why and I can ignore it thanks to you! Commented Jan 18, 2012 at 10:47
