Hello all.

Question from a newbie.

I installed HTTPS website (www.somename.com), let's say in /home/html/
some_directory with a associated signed certificate for www.somename.com).

Everything was working perfectly, when I connected to www.somename.com,
I received the corresponding certificate.

Now, for some (important) reason, I decided just to change the
directory where the website www.somename.com is, in another
directory /
home/html/some_other_directory.

I just change the DocumentRoot in the <vhost >config in httpd.conf,
but now, when I connect to www.somename.com, the webserver sends me a
unsigned certificate for "localhost" and no more www.somename.com.

What is the point ? Is it possible to change the website directory ?
How ?

Thank you for your answers. (Search on forums and websites, found
nothing.)

Of course it's possible. But you've neglected a whole set of possible
issues:

<Directory> setttings.
Other virtual host modules.
SELinux.
Filesystem permissions in the new directory.
Symlinks from new to old locations

You need to define in better detail what you're up to, and ideally
show your config files.
