Hi Norbert,
Thanks for your response and advice. I went for a "wildcard" certificate
which from what I understand will allow me to cover everything under *.
example.com. My understanding and reality might not match up exactly...
The output of apache2ctl -S is:
VirtualHost configuration:

kerwin_repo is my main archive. kerwinrepo was an archive I set up totally
incorrectly and doesn't matter. I think I may disable the eprints conf and
go back to basics with this. I should also add that the url is meaningless,
it just so happened that this was the only spare functioning one I had when
I started.
Thanks,
James
