I have an Apache/2.4.25 site serving https for virtualhosts quite happily.

I have a new server using Apache/2.4.38 and a very similar, but smaller, config to the other machine.

When I access a website on the new machine the certificate the browser gets is the default one for localhost, not the one for the virtual domain. (and hence complains about the certificate)

There are no errors reported on starting apache or when the site is accessed.

ssl.conf on both machines is the same and has the directives for server localhost certificate enabled.
The permissions for the domain cert key is root rw only

I can't seem to get any closer than that.

Anyone have any ideas on how to pin down this problem further?

Thanks for your time.

run

sudo apache2ctl -S
to check the vhost config and see why localhost is the default 443 vhost.

Thanks for that!
My server doesn't have apache2ctl only apachectl, and the man page doesn't mention -S.
However apachectl -S works for me!

It would have saved me a lot of time to have used that command.

As it turns out, everything was working as it should, just that in taking too many shortcuts I had the servername the same as the virtual site. Once I'd set up a different name for the virtual site it worked as I'd hoped.
