Hey all
I have a Ubuntu server on which sailjs is installed. In order for me to use this backend from another site I need to have the connection encrypted (https). I followed this tutorial.
With sailsjs I need to reroute any incomming connections to 127.0.0.1:1337 which I have done and that works. So after following the tutorial the plain http still works but pointing to the https version just returns the default apache2 screen.
I am not very knowledgeable with these things so it could probably be something stupid. In the code my actual IP has been changed to 1.2.3.4 Please find my configurations attached.

Hello,
As far as I can see what could be causing the issue here are two things:
the fact that in your HTTP Vhost you have DocumentRoot set to
/var/www/projectName/
and in your HTTPS Vhost the DocumentRoot is set to the default one:/var/www/html/
- though this is highly unlikely to be the problem, but you could try channing that.And the more important thing is the fact that you don’t have your Proxy rules in the HTTPS VHost.
You need to make sure that you have the following rules copied to your HTTPS Vhost as well:
Hope that this helps! Bobby
