Two sites on the same server with unwanted redirection

Question

I have two different sites
domain1.com
domain2.com

Problem : I only can access domain2.com by using www.domain2.com
If i try domain2.com it redirects to domain1.com.

Configuration files:
domain1.com.conf

  <VirtualHost *:80>     
     ServerName domain1.com
     ServerAlias www.domain1.com
     DocumentRoot /var/www/html
   </VirtualHost>
   <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
     <VirtualHost *:443>
       DocumentRoot /var/www/html
       ServerName www.domain1.com
       Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
       SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain1.com/fullchain.pem
       SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain1.com/privkey.pem
     </VirtualHost>
   </IfModule>

domain2.com.conf

   <VirtualHost *:80>
           ServerName domain2.com
           ServerAlias www.domain2.com
           DocumentRoot /var/www/public_html/domain2.com/wordpress
   </VirtualHost>
   <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
   <VirtualHost *:443>
           ServerAdmin gneri94@gmail.com
           DocumentRoot /var/www/public_html/domain2.com/wordpress
           ServerName www.domain2.com
           Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
           SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain2.com/fullchain.pem
           SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain2.com/privkey.pem
   </VirtualHost>
   </IfModule>

.htaccess in both sites

# BEGIN WordPress                         
  RewriteEngine On 
  RewriteBase / 
  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] 
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

command certbot certificates returns:

Certificate Name: domain1.com
Domains: domain1.com www.domain1.com
Certificate Path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain1.com/fullchain.pem
Private Key Path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain1.com/privkey.pem

Certificate Name: domain2.com
Domains: domain2.com www.domain2.com
Certificate Path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain2.com/fullchain.pem
Private Key Path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain2.com/privkey.pem

Have you tried from an alternative browser? It could be cache related. — davidgo, May 26 '20 at 04:03

For port 80 vHost you have:

ServerName domain2.com
ServerAlias www.domain2.com

But for port 443 you only have:

ServerName www.domain2.com

(This applies to both domain1 and domain2.)

So if you access https://domain2.com it will get caught by the default vHost (ie. the first one that is defined: www.domain1.com)

You should also consider redirecting to the HTTPS (canonical) domain in the port 80 vHost.
