HTTPS issues

[sphg]

Hello community,

i've some trouble when it comes to HTTPS.

I have no need for HTTPS-websites, so i have no need using a certificate. The only thing concerning certificates i did was creating another self-signed one, to get rid of those apache-warnings when using the Plesk default one (The default certificate does not match the servers name, that generates lots of warnings and spams the serverlog).

To get this fixed, i had to create a new self-signed certificate using the correct names, make it "default" in Plesk and delete the one provided with the Plesk installation. That's all i did. In my domain settings, i never added any certificate or such.



However, i can access my domains (and subdomains) via HTTPS. That wouldn't bother me - if only this URLs wouldn't lead to the "Web Server's Default Page". That's not the way it should be. After searching a while, the information i found says "Using Plesk 11, there is no httpsdocs directory, by default HTTPS is pointing to httpdocs automatically."

Well... no, it doesn't. Not on my machine.

I couldn't find a httpsdocs, that's true - but also i have no idea where this "Default Page" comes from. HTTPS is clearly not loading content from httpdocs, but it has to be somewhere, i guess?



What did i miss? What to do?

Target solution would be either to disable HTTPS completely - or to get it routed to the directories of the default HTTP domain. And it should work for existing subdomains, too.



I'm using 11.0.9 Update #59 on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS - running on a VServer, if that's important.


Thanks for any help in advance,

greets!

Solved

UPDATE

Ah sh.... nevermind :-\


Okay, right afer writing that first post i thought: ...but what if i configured SSL and certificates and all that? So i did.


I created a few self-signed certificates, corresponding to my domains. Then i marked the checkbox "Enable SSL support" in the Domain settings and selected the corresponding certificate.

Result: ...works fine now!

Case closed, problem solved.


I still don't know why i could access the domains using HTTPS without having that configured and i still don't know what "Default Page" has been used (...maybe some template deep down in the Plesk installation directories?) - but that's not one of my problems.

Tip for everyone having similar problems: just configure a proper SSL usage, even if you don't need it.


Greets!
