Hello everybody,

The relevant part of the config:  
[http://paste.debian.net/hidden/9d3d8f16/](http://paste.debian.net/hidden/9d3d8f16/)

I want to proxy pass port 443 based on the server\_name to different  
Apache servers, anybody knows how should I do this?

Summary of the config: (see the above pastebin for more info)

server {  
listen 443;  
server\_name calendar.powercraft.nl;  
ssl on;  
ssl\_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/certificate.pem;  
ssl\_certificate\_key /etc/ssl/certs/privatekey.pem;  
keepalive\_timeout 70;  
location / {  
proxy\_redirect off;  
proxy\_pass [https://192.168.24.66/](https://192.168.24.66/);  
}  
}

server {  
listen 443;  
server\_name webmail.tuxblogger.nl;  
ssl on;  
ssl\_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/certificate.pem;  
ssl\_certificate\_key /etc/ssl/certs/privatekey.pem;  
location / {  
proxy\_redirect off;  
proxy\_pass [https://192.168.24.67/](https://192.168.24.67/);  
}  
}

I want to add several more server\_names if possible.

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Jelle

Probably something like this would work:

map $host $backend {  
calendar.powercraft.nl 192.168.24.66;  
webmail.tuxblogger.nl 192.168.24.67;  
}

server {  
listen 443;  
server\_name calendar.powercraft.nl webmail.tuxblogger.nl;

```
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/certificate.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/certs/privatekey.pem;

keepalive_timeout 70;

location / {
    proxy_pass https://$backend/;
}

```

}

Oops, correct:

proxy\_pass https://$backend$uri;

And, probably, you didn’t want proxy pass HTTPS to upstream:

proxy\_pass http://$backend$uri;

I also expected that you have multi-domain certificate.

yes, it is possible.

make separate server{ … } for each https site.

probably you need separate IP for each site,  
or use only SNI-capable clients (browsers)

The $uri part isn’t needed, just

proxy\_pass https://$backend;

is enough.
