HTTPS website redirects to the main production site instead of the dev site
-
I have two sites: website.domain.com and domain.com. Both are physically on the same server. However the production site (domain.com) is enabled with HTTPS under Dashboard > Settings General. The website.domain.com has HTTP instead. Every time I enter “https://website.domain.com” in the browser, I get redirected to “https://domain.com”. Why is this? I’ve not set any .htaccess redirects neither are there any plugins doing this. I also checked the Apache configurations and there is nothing custom here. Here is what the access log and a curl command shows:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [11/Jan/2016:19:44:02 +0530] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 301 527 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/47.0.2526.106 Safari/537.36" xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [11/Jan/2016:19:44:02 +0530] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 50425 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/47.0.2526.106 Safari/537.36" curl -vvv https://website.domain.com/ * Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache * Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx... * Connected to website.domain.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) port 443 (#0) * successfully set certificate verify locations: * CAfile: none .. .. .. > GET / HTTP/1.1 > User-Agent: curl/7.35.0 > Host: website.domain.com > Accept: */* > < HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently < Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:15:13 GMT * Server Apache/2.4.16 (Ubuntu) is not blacklisted < Server: Apache/2.4.16 (Ubuntu) < Expires: Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT < Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0 < Pragma: no-cache < Location: https://domain.com/ < Content-Length: 0 < Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 < * Connection #0 to host website.domain.com left intact
