Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Forcing HTTPS Results Into Many Redirects
May 16, 2015
I've been fiddling with Plesk to get HTTPS to work for [URL] .... Unfortunately I haven't had any successes at forcing HTTPS, all result in a 'to many redirects' message.
The certificate is already activated and can be verified trough; [URL] ....
i've installed this shared SSL certificate on my server for a domain. now the weird thing is when i go to [url]it redirects to the site which owns the SSL certificate.
any idea how to either disable https access for everything else, or just now have it redirect to that site?
I'm currently struggling with an issue on our Apache 2.2.24 home-rolled installation on an OEL 6.2 x64 linux server that front-ends for a Glassfish cluster via proxypass.The httpd.conf manages 4 virtual hosts with each virtual host entry rewriting to HTTPS.
Anyone trying to access the HTTP address redirects to HTTPS just fine.The issue is that anyone using the HTTPS address gets redirected to the Document Root defined in Apache instead of being proxypassed to Glassfish.
I had set up a dummy DocumentRoot with a simple index.html meta redirect and what happens is that anyone directly accessing HTTPS will hit the index.html file which redirects to the the https site. At this point it simply loops to infinity.
So, the installation procedure finished partially, installing net packages, but not really updating all info.
Comparison of the MySQL scheme for DB psa with another server with the new installation shows that some minimal differences in some tables and a couple of missing tables. So, it looks like it _almost_ succeeded.
Comparison of the RPMs installed on the two servers, shows some differences in installed packages and versions. For example, there are 2 versions of psa-backup-manager and 2 versions of psa-migration-manager on the "malfunctioning" machine.
Further runs of the autoinstaller does not work, since it seems to think that everything is fully installed/updated. How to proceed from this point. Control panel does not work...
We've looked through the installation log files and Wonder if there is some log file that we are missing - where shold we look for messages in case of a failed installation?
To automate some tasks for some projects I'm working on, I need to be able to automatically create or delete ftp-users.
Creating and listing ftp-accounts is working great, but when it comes to deleting them I run into an internal server error. Before my script gets the response it's waiting for, the script crashes.
- When live watching the Apache error-log with 'tail -f', the terminal-session is exited with 'Killed (core dumped)' - Apache error-log shows:
Code: (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server, referer: http://example.com/ftp.php?action=delete Premature end of script headers: ftp.php, referer: http://example.com/ftp.php?action=delete - Webbrowser shows default '500 Internal Server Error'
I have checked and changed time-out settings, but it didn't work. Error occurs a few seconds after executing, while the timeouts are set to 60 to 90 seconds.
I enter one of my IPs or the hostname belonging to this IP, followed by the Plesk port, and I get redirected to the "main" hostname of the server, which was set in Plesk. But at this moment that hostname is used by another server (my old server) and so I'm redirected to the other server and cannot access Plesk on the new server.
I don't know why Plesk reacts like this, because it did not on the old server. Here the problem more detailed:
I'm just configuring my new server with Plesk 11. My old server uses Plesk 10. On my old server / in Plesk 10 I have the following scenario:
- I have several IPs (10) - Each IP is used for a different domain - Each IP has it's domain as the reverse entry (configured outside of the server/Plesk) - Each IP is set to "Dedicated" in Plesk - I set Plesk to listen only on one of these IPs (and different port) - Several domains are created in Plesk, but not a domain for my Plesk IP - The server's name is one of the domains (required for mails not being recognized as spam) - The hostname of the Plesk IP is one assigned by my provider (something like x-x-x-x.xyzservers.com) - Entering the IP of Plesk redirects to the "Plesk hostname" => Plesk can be accessed by using x-x-x-x.xyzservers.com:myport
And under Plesk 11 (here comes the problem):
- Still several IPs (but less: 4) - One IP should be used for Plesk, one for domain X, one for domain Y and the last one for the other domains - Reverse entries are x-x-x-x.xyzservers.com for Plesk IP, domain X/Y for two other IPs and the main domain for the last IP - Plesk IP and the two single domain IPs are configured as dedicated, the last one as shared - At this point I did not configure any domains in Plesk - Server's name is the same as my old server (the main domain) => Entering any IP with the Plesk port redirects to the servers hostname, e.g. my main domain, which is still on the old server. => Result: I cannot access Plesk!
Of course I could just change the hostname of the server via SSH (just have to find out how to do this), but why does Plesk react in another way now? Or is the problem that I cannot change Plesk to listen on only one IP?
My problem is, when I attempt to access a seperate webspace's control panel login through webspace2.com:8443 it automatically redirects me to https://hostname.com:8443.
If however I go to https://webspace2.com:8443 this redirect does not happen and I can log straight in through this domain.
Ideally I need to keep these domains separate and need to remove this non-https redirect that is currently happening.
When I create a CNAME record for domain, and then trying to load it, it goes to default website. It was working fine before, all old CNAME records are working fine.
Tried reconfigure-all but it doesn't fix the problem. I'm using 11.5.30 Update #44
I´ve read that a whole https website might be better for SEO than just a mixed version. So I want to change the whole website to https.
We are using Plesk 12 on Win 2008 R2. One Website is using DotNetNuke 7.3.2.
How can I automatically set the whole website to https?
What happens to the users that just type domainname.com without http or https.?
What is the right search engine friendly technique to permanently redirect to the https version even when the user is not using the application protocol prefix http/https?
Where can I do the setup in Plesk 12 fro Windows?
Are their any other drawbacks that I have to think over before I do the changes?
I've tried to enable https on a domain /server: vpn, debian 6.0.10, plesk 12.0.18/ but all I receive is a 403 forbidden error. I can't find any other related option, what could be the problem?
We will be migrating from plesk 9 to plesk 11 and I am having some trouble finding a fix for something. Previously, http and https could either share a directory or have split directories (httpdocs and httpsdocs) for a site. Now all I see is httpdocs and I can't find a way to have separate directories.
I have Plesk 11.5 installed on my server. There are about 30 sites on the same shared IP address. I need to set up a site to be accessible via https://<ip-address-of-the-server> . According to the documentation I went to Setting -> IP Addresses and selected the desired site from the drop down. Now http://<ip-address-of-the-server> (note, 80th port) works like a charm. Unfortunately https:// displays only the first page of the selected site; all CSS, JS and other files are not found (404).
I did some research and found that Nginx forwards the requests to Apache for all the PHP files and tries to handle all the static files by itself (what is expected and correct). But it looks like that there is no special configuration for nginx which would specify where to get these static files for the IP address, and Nginx just uses the first loaded config (started from b in my case).
I temporary resolved this issue by modifying the last_nginx.conf for the desired domain this way: listen XX.XX.XX.XX:443 default_server ssl;
Note I added "default_server" directive. Of course it would be erased on each reconfiguration of the config files, but as for now I do not see how I can put it in custom nginx.conf or on the server servel level. I reckon Plesk should include the directive in the file the same way as it produces last_httpd_ip_default.conf Apache config for the selected domain. It looks to be an easy fix on the template level, may be I will do it later, but for now this is just the bug report.
the hostname is www.domain.com also in the serversettings of plesk. When we go to http://www.domain.com:8443 we become redirected to https://www:8443. The only way to connect to plesk is to use https the redirect from http doesnt work.
URL....We are running Plesk 12 on a Linux VPS where we have multiple domains running.Multiple of these domains should redirect from www. domain name. ext to https://ext.domainname.com.This is configured with the Domain forwarding in Plesk, with hosting type Forwarding.But as described in the 2 links provided above, whenever you go to https://www.domain.ext, it does not redirect, and actually shows a Security error, since the domain doesn't have the SSL-certificate installed (because it should redirect to the https://ext.domainname.com).
Clearly we don't want visitors on the website to receive the (incorrect) Security error, and we want all traffic to http(s)://www.domain.ext to be redirected to the appropriate subdomains. allows us to redirect both the https/http connections to the domains, without forcing us to have the domains have a Website hosting add redirect them manually with (for example) .htaccess.
I migrated domains from another server and they had separate http and https folders. Now I need to make them use same httpdocs for both http/https. How do I do it for a single domain? How do I batch do it for all domains?
This config is working fine until we try to load resources from the alias over ssl, I believe something is missing in the Nginx config. I'm not getting any info using the logs.
When I hit my server's domain it redirects me to one of the hosted sites' domain with a 302 redirect. It used to return the default plesk server page. How can I cancel the redirect?
There are a lot of permanent redirects in one of my customer's server. I tried to remove them through clicking the remove button but although it gave a "deleted" message, it failed to do so..
Are you sure you wish to permanently remove the redirect ** All Requests ** on ** All Public Domains **
I click YES and i got the message below.
The redirect ** All Requests ** on ** All Public Domains ** has been removed.
But redirect define is still there.
What should i do? I can access to server via SSH. So may be i can handle with this just editing some file(s)?
I have set up an Apache web server that has ssl enabled. If I go to https://myserver.com I get the 'it works!' page and the certificate is valid and trusted. If I go to https://myserver.com/myapp that also works (it's an Oracle weblogic deployed java app that I'm fronting with Apache).
I would like to configure Apache so that when a user goes to simply https://myserver.com it automatically directs them to https://myserver.com/myapp rather than showing the 'It works!' page. I have read some documentation and experimented with setting a redirect via the https.conf file and even the ssl.conf file but nothing seems to work. I either get a 404 or simply the 'It works! page.
Does HTTPS on a Windows site require SNI like it apparently does on Linux nodes? If it does, I've been avoiding moving a site to an existing server that only has one IP, so I may as well move it there instead of setting up a Windows node in PPA.
We have a new PPA installation to replace Hsphere.
One of the issues we have is most old Hsphere customers want to just go to http://cp.myppaserver.com and have it automatically redirect to https://cp.myppaserver.com:8443 as it did with Hsphere.
Ho can I achieve this with my Plesk Automation install?
I have a VPS with 1&1 and i'm trying to customize the Control Panel hostname to mypcp.mycustomdomain.com...I have added mypcp A record for mycustomdomain.com pointing to the server's IP address.
Right now if I type the full URL: https://mypcp.mycustomdomain.com:8443 it works fine but if i type just mypcp.mycustomdomain.com:8443 it keeps loading until it times out but it never redirects to https.
I have install Plesk 11.5.3 on my Windows Server 2008 r2. I want to try Mailenable on the PleskServer, so i installed the feature, but know when I am calling the webmailer with http:webmail.domainname.de works fine, but when I try https://webmail.domainname.de i become a Not found: HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found
I've come across an issue where our users are not logging out of their terminal services session properly. Whether via TSWeb or MSTSC (remote desktop), if they close the browser or RDP window using the x it keeps the session alive for upto 1 minute.
The problem with this is that we use terminal services to host an application for users who can't install it, so other users that login (using a generic username and password) are adopting/hijacking the original session and seeing someone elses data.
Does anyone know of a way to force a new session each time a user connects to RDP? Whether via TSWeb or MSTSC (remote desktop)?
