[users@httpd] firefox shows default site page

Hello,

I have this hostname: mail.openmbox.net
when access it as http, it will be rewrited to https (rewrite and certs setup by certbot automatically).

this works fine in chrome browser.

but when I access http://mail.openmbox.net in firefox, it will show the default site.

That's to say,

http://mail.openmbox.net/ works correctly on chrome (show the correct site and rewrite to https).
but it shows the default site (ubuntu default html) on firefox as you can test it as well.

I am totally confused. can you help? 

Thanks.

Additional info:

The version:
# apache2 -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu)
Server built:   2022-06-14T13:30:55

The config:
<VirtualHost *:80>

	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
	ServerName mail.openmbox.net
	DocumentRoot /var/www/snappy


	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

  <Directory />
    Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
  </Directory>

  <Directory /var/www/snappy/data>
     Require all denied
  </Directory>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =mail.openmbox.net
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>

I suggest turning on `loglevel trace8` and noting the time of your
test request with firefox.

Is a request traced? Does the Host: header or anything else traced
look unexpected?

Thanks Daniel for pointting out these.

While i changed the config to follows:

<VirtualHost *:80>

	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
	ServerName mail.openmbox.net
	DocumentRoot /var/www/snappy


	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

  <Directory />
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Require all denied
  </Directory>

  <Directory /var/www/snappy>
    Options +Indexes
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
  </Directory>


  <Directory /var/www/snappy/data>
     Require all denied
  </Directory>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =mail.openmbox.net
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>



And I restarted apache2 without error.
But http://mail.openmbox.net still points to the default site.

Can you help further?

Regards.
Henry

Re: [users@httpd] firefox shows default site page

Allow me to step aside from your question for a moment, I believe if
you don't get the basics right you should just stop, this is very
important:

Directory directive specifies a directory in your filesystem, ***do
not ever allow anything in /***, even less the execution of cgi
scripts.

You are also mixing authz 2.2 directives with 2.4 directives.

And also allowing .htaccess files to be used throughout your whole
operative system.

Briefly it is a compendium of ill advice.

In your server config context you should define at least these:

<Directory />
    Options None
    AllowOverride none
    Require all denied
</Directory>

and inside your virtualhost:

DocumentRoot /var/www/snappy
<Directory /var/www/snappy>
   #Options "add whatever options you do need, do not add random options .."
    Require all granted
</Directory>

and then configure other directories or whatever you need for service.
But these above are the basics.

About including AllowOverride directive, only do if you want non-admin
users to setup specific directories configuration, set it up where it
is really needed (NOT EVER system wide), most times using .htaccess
will just complicate your life otherwise.

Re: [users@httpd] firefox shows default site page

Posted by su...@openmbox.net.
Thanks. So I know that it's due to 000-default.conf was using the system hostname as its default virtual server.

And my system hostname is just same as web domain name.

# hostname
mail.openmbox.net


After I removed 000-default.conf the site does work.
Thanks a lot.

If the systems hostname matches one of your other port 80 vhosts, you
should set a ServerName in it and not it let implicitly use the system
hostname.

Hello

# rm -f 000-default.conf 
# service apache2 restart

After I removed 000-default.conf the site http://mail.openmbox.net just works.
so the reason is due to 000-default.conf? we should remove this file in a regular webserver?

Thanks.

Hi,

Hello

I just created config files under /etc/apache2/sites-enabled directly.

$ ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   35 Oct 20 14:42 000-default.conf -> ../sites-available/000-default.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1850 Nov 11 03:58 webmail-le-ssl.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1469 Nov 11 03:59 webmail.conf

so no a2ensite command is needed.
Thanks

Can I just ask a simple but obvious question. Have you enabled the site? 
A simple command such as "sudo a2ensite openmbox.conf". I am assuming 
openmbox.conf file is created. I always create separate conf files for 
each site/domain to make things simple but some people have different 
vies about this. You can enable all sites with "*.conf" parameter to 
make it even more simpler.

SpiceMan,

I follow your suggestions to set up as follows.

webmail.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>

	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
	ServerName mail.openmbox.net


	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =mail.openmbox.net
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>


webmail-le-ssl.conf:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>

	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
	ServerName mail.openmbox.net
	DocumentRoot /var/www/snappy

	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

  <Directory />
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Require all denied
  </Directory>

  <Directory /var/www/snappy>
    Options +Indexes
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
  </Directory>

  <Directory /var/www/snappy/data>
     Require all denied
  </Directory>

SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.openmbox.net/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.openmbox.net/privkey.pem
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>


And apache2 restarted without error.

but http://mail.openmbox.net still go to default site.

any idea?

regards.

Re: [users@httpd] firefox shows default site page

Posted by SpiceMan <sp...@gmail.com>.
Delete all that Rewrite voodoo and just redirect.

<VirtualHost *:80> 
  ServerName example.com
  ServerAlias www.example.com

  Redirect permanent / https://example.com/
</VirtualHost>


IMPORTANT NOTE:
Also you are configuring all that access to your SYSTEM root directory.
<Directory /> is the whole filesystem path there, not an url path.

Don’t do that. Restrict all and allow what you need for your content, don’t expose your whole system.

For what it’s worth, I get the “default site” on http://mail.openmbox.net in all browsers I tried (Safari, Firefox, Chrome). The https version looks right.

Sorry I have no solution for your problem, just adding some info.

If you’re in an urgent situation, as a workaround, you could put a .htaccess or index.php in the default web root and have that redirect to https://mail.openmbox.net/

Good luck,

Kind regards,
Walter Hop
