I have two projects that are a copy of each other on my Mac with MAMP. They both have SSL pages. However, whenever I hit the a secured SSL page of project 2, the base_url or host changes to project1 instead of remaining project2. I know this is an issue with the vhosts, because if I switch the order of the entries, the reverse happens. Here's my config files:

    /Applications/MAMP/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf


<VirtualHost _default_:443>
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/proj1"
ServerName proj1.localhost:443
ErrorLog "/Applications/MAMP/Library/logs/error_log"
TransferLog "/Applications/MAMP/Library/logs/access_log"
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/ssl/server.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/ssl/server.key"
</VirtualHost> 

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/proj2"
ServerName proj2.localhost:443
ErrorLog "/Applications/MAMP/Library/logs/error_log"
TransferLog "/Applications/MAMP/Library/logs/access_log"

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/ssl/server.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/ssl/server.key"
</VirtualHost>
