LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Apache problem: Aliased content isn't transmitted in clear; not SSL.

I want to optimize my site so that static content is served by apache but dynamic app content is served by my app server behind apache. Apache and my app server talk ajp13. Incoming connections from clients using http get redirected to https in httpd.conf. After that the site should be all-ssl. However when the ssl site serves up the static stuff (contained in three directories) it apparently gets sent via http, or unecrypted, and that's the problem. I know because Chrome says it does when I load the page. You get cert errors. when I commment out the static content redirecting bits in the ssl.conf the problem goes away. Does anyone know how I can fix up my redirect or my ssl.conf so my images, js, and css files are served over ssl? Here are the snippets from my config.

From httpd.conf:

Code:

<VirtualHost *:7016>

        ServerName *.example.com

        RewriteEngine On

        RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [R,L]

</VirtualHost>

From ssl.conf

Code:

<VirtualHost *:7416>

        ServerName *.example.com



        SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/images/*" no-jk

        SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/js/i*" no-jk

        SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/css/*" no-jk

        Alias "/images/" "/nfsMount/staticContent/example/images/"

        Alias "/js/" "/nfsMount/staticContent/example/js/"

        Alias "/css/" "/nfsMount/staticContent/example/css/"

                

        <Directory "/nfsMount/staticContent/example/">

              Options None

              AllowOverride None

              Order allow,deny

              Allow from all

        </Directory>



        JkMount /* example_beta



        SSLEngine on

        SSLCertificateFile /ssl_keys/example.com/star_example_com.crt

        SSLCertificateKeyFile /ssl_keys/example.com/example.key

        SSLCACertificateFile /ssl_keys/example.com/DigiCertCA.crt



</VirtualHost>

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
