In Apache2 template site use <Virtualhost *:80> rather than <Virtualhost *>

Thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists might be a good start for determining which mailing list to use.

It seems this suggestion has two sides. On one hand, if the changes will be made, it is easier to add the ssl option. On the other hand, if the changes are made, and someone adds another port to which apache is listening, or changes the port, the default site does not capture those.

Thanks

Not to be ornery, but if an individual is adding ports for Apache's
listening capabilities, then it is likely that they will check their
VirtualHost configs before applying any changes.

Alternatively, if someone who is relatively new to Apache sees the "*
and non-*" warning, it may cause more frustration than having a separate
*:80 and *:443 by default.

One more item to bear in mind is that a typical user may want to have a
more strict rule set on a secure config that a standard HTTP, either for
PCI compliance, or just personal preference. Maintaining a distinction
between *:80 and *:443 is, I think, ideal.

Just my $.02.
