default website, wiki, profile manager work when Web Server off

Hello everyone,

I've been struggling with this for some time, and can't figure out what's going on. When I turn the web server ON in server app, none of default websites hosted on port 443 work (wiki, profile manager, or server home page). Once I turn the web server OFF they start working, however, my vrtual websites hosted on port 80 stop working. Have you guys seen that before????

Any help will be appreciated...

Thanks

Basically when you enable SSL on any domain all traffic for that domain is rerouted to the SSL version of web sites hosted for the domain. It's fixed in Mt Lion and Mavericks Server but not for Lion Server. It's pretty stupid to be honest.

The quick and dirty workaround for it is to add an include into…

/etc/apache2/sites/

… that loads before all else to add and display your non-SSL, Port 80, web site traffic.
