Virtualhost mixup: https://mapserver.org/ points to a GRASS site

[dmorissette]

Hi SAC, there seems to be a virtualhost mixup on the server hosting MapServer.org. There is no HTTPS site for MapServer, but ​https://mapserver.org/ points to a GRASS site. The same issue may be present for other sites on the same server.

Was this already fixed? Works fine from here at least.

Still an issue for me, and I'm not alone since this was reported by others at the Paris sprint last week.

I can confirm, http is fine https if you except the invalid certificate that doesn't match goes to GRASS. Perhaps a temporary redirect for https connections for now until we work out a valid certificate.

I'm going to suggest we try this route for getting a free https certificate ​https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/

[dmorissette]

FYI we've started using letsencrypt here at Mapgears a few weeks ago and it works great. It's straightforward and provides a certificate that's trusted by the browsers.

And actually, in the mapserver.org case, and possibly others, we do not need the https for now, so it may be better to have a permanent redirect to the http site to avoid duplicating the website contents and search engine references under two sets of URLs.

Sorry, I missed the s - so it's not working for me either. Sorry for the noise.

This issue appears to be due to an improper SSL certificate, here is the error text from firefox:

mapserver.org uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for drone.osgeo.org
Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN
