In my previous question, SSL certificates weren't working for me, until I got it to work using relative paths rather than absolute.
Question: Why won't my VirtualHost/httpd not accept absolute paths? Is there some configuration or something?
My VirtualHost (non-working);
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://example.com/$1 [R,L]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/msdfw
ErrorLog /var/iwww/logs/e-msdfw
CustomLog /var/iwww/logs/c-msdfw combined
DirectoryIndex index.php
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /var/iwww/certs/msdfw/c.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /var/iwww/certs/msdfw/p.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /var/iwww/certs/msdfw/b.pem
<Directory /var/www/msdfw/>
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I had to move the folder containing the certificates to the httpd
folder (relative) in order for it to work? Anyone know why and how I can make it accept absolute paths? Thanks!
