Apache 2.4.7 redirect not working when multiple Virtual host tags are present Ubuntu14.04

Question

I have 2 virtual host tags in my conf file.

1st Tag contains the redirect rule for request coming through internal IP address.

2nd Tag contains the other redirect rules for request coming through public ip or any other place

When I remove the first VirtualHost tag, redirect and ssl works perfectly fine, but I need the first VirtualHost tag as well

My conf file

this is located at /etc/apache2/sites-available/site.conf

<VirtualHost 10.1.0.7:80>
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    LogLevel debug
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    ServerName servername.com
    ProxyPass /Service http://localhost:8080/Service
    ProxyPassReverse /Service http://localhost:8080/Service
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    LogLevel debug
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    ServerName servername.com
    RewriteEngine On    # Turn on the rewriting engine
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L] 
</VirtualHost>

If I remove the first VirtualHost tag which contains the private IP, everything works fine, but as soon as I add it, the server does not redirect to 443 port.

My ssl conf file:

located at /etc/apache2/sites-available/site-ssl.conf

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    LogLevel debug
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
     ProxyPreserveHost On
        ServerName server.com
    # Redirections:
    ProxyPass /server-status http://localhost:7570/server-status
    ProxyPassReverse /server-status http://localhost:7570/server-status

    ProxyPass /mCare/subscribe ws://localhost:8080/mCare/subscribe
    ProxyPassReverse /mCare/subscribe ws://localhost:8080/mCare/subscribe

    ProxyPass /mCare http://localhost:8080/mCare
    ProxyPassReverse /mCare http://localhost:8080/mCare

    ProxyPass /solr http://localhost:8280/solr
    ProxyPassReverse /solr http://localhost:8280/solr

    SSLEngine on
            SSLCertificateFile      /mnt/opt/ssl/2015/sha2/b89516b0cdc9a701.crt
            SSLCertificateKeyFile   /mnt/opt/ssl/2015/sha2/mcare.pem
            SSLCertificateChainFile /mnt/opt/ssl/2015/sha2/gd_bundle.crt

    <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
            SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
    </FilesMatch>
    <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>
            SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
    </Directory>

    BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \
            nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
            downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
    BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown

</VirtualHost>

This is my ports.conf file :

Listen 80

<IfModule ssl_module>
      Listen 443
</IfModule>

I have created all the required soft links as well.

I have finally made it to work.

I am posting this so that others facing the same issue may get help.

I just avoided the Virtual Host Tag with the internal IP of the server and managed to write a better Regular Expression in the RewriteRule

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ProxyPreserveHost On

    ProxyPass /Service http://localhost:8080/Service
    ProxyPassReverse /Service http://localhost:8080/Service





    LogLevel debug
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined


    ServerName server.com

    RewriteEngine On    # Turn on the rewriting engine
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on

    RewriteRule ^((?!/Service).)*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

</VirtualHost>

So now, my /etc/apache2/sites-available/site.conf file contains only one virtual tag.

I have written the expression so that all the request which contains Service need not redirect to https, and i have given the proxyPass for that also.

This solved my Issue
