Apache and CN does NOT match server name!? warning
In your Apache SSL log you can see a warning as:[warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `xxx' does NOT match server name!?It is a mere warning signaling a virtualhost is using a certificate while having a different ServerName declared.
It often arrives when using
<VirtualHost _default_:443>Indeed, somewhere a website inherits of that configuration and it generates this alert.
To get rid of it the VirtualHost _default_ needs to be deleted.
With a multiple-site certificate, this message can also be displayed if several VirtualHost are using the same certificate. Since Apache can not interpret multple CNs nor SANs, there are always at least N-1 warning of that kind (N being the number of virtualhost).
It is not a problem. Simply ignore the warning.
The solution would be to make Apache able to understand multiples CNs and SANs...
