Sentora Panel Redirecting To Hosted Site When Not Using SSL/HTTPS

[reinhardt]

Basically I found this thread which this user is experiecing the exact same problem I am right now, basically word for word (and config for config).

http://forums.sentora.org/showthread.php?tid=2721

It was never resolved.

The problem, in short, is I installed a LetsEncrypt SSL certificate for the control panel and HTTPS/SSL works fine. But when I attempt to connect to the panel without SSL and just specify HTTP, it redirects to a hosted site (the first one that was created on the server).

I have made the adjustments recommend on the SSL Installation guide, as well as added the following to the top of my /etc/sentora/panel/.htaccess file

Code:

# Force SSL - Always first!
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

But it's still redirecting to the hosted site.

Did you remember to add:

Code:

</virtualhost>
# PORT FORWARD FROM 80 TO: 443
<virtualhost *:80>
ServerName panel.domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
Redirect permanent / https://panel.domain.com/

to the end of the Global Sentora Entry? (Admin > Module Admin > Apache Config)
(Change panel.domain.com to your panel login FQDN)
This should also remove the need of using the .htaccess additions.

That did it, thank you very much! I didn't see that mentioned in the thread I linked or in the documentation for the LetsEncrypt SSL. Do you think it would be worth adding on the documentation here: http://docs.sentora.org/?node=102

Either way, thanks again.

Actually I take back what I said. This has caused my other site that was running SSL without issue to now be broken. Either this software does not work well with SSL or the documentation is missing vital pieces to it.

PM me your httpd-vhosts.conf and I'll take a look.
