Local SSL connections are causing redirect loop (after Ubuntu update)
- by codeinthehole
Following a recent Ubuntu update, my local websites are no longer serving their pages over SSL. For example, my .htaccess file attempts to ensure /sign-in is always served over HTTPS:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /sign-in
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,QSA,R=301]
However when I make a request to /sign-in on the domain site2-local , I get the error "The page isn't redirecting properly" with the following in /var/log/apache2/error.log

There is a connection to site1-local (another site on my machine which shares the certificate), which I don't understand.
Anyone know what is causing this issue?
