http-->https not working

realos · 10-14-2005, 04:38 AM

I like all http connections to be redirected to https. Following code is in the <virtualhost *> section. Another <virtualhost *:443> is also available but ofcourse without the rewrite code. Normal https connections are working fine.

Any idea what could be the reason why it is not working?

Code:

<Directory />
        LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so
        RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
        RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from All
</Directory>

The <Directory /> does not mean the web server's document root directory. It refers to the OS' root directory. You need to a rewrite rule in the directory directive that your DocumentRoot directive specifies. I'm pretty sure what you're trying to do won't work since you cannot (should not be able to) request the OS' root directory through a browser.

This is the solution from my Apache Cookbook to redirect everything to SSL. I assume in the main server portion (doesn't really say) have the following directives.

RewriteCond "%{SERVER_PORT}" "^80$"
RewriteRules "^(.*)$" "https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1" [R,L]

Or just in the main server section you can also use the directive
Redirect / https://name_of_server
to accomplish the same thing as the above.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond "%{SERVER_PORT}" "^80$"
RewriteRules "^(.*)$" "https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1" [R,L]
</Directory>

Code:

/etc/apache-ssl# apache-ssl start
Syntax error on line 1239 of /etc/apache-ssl/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'RewriteRules', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

there's a problem with the above...
