apache httpd.conf https
 

Anybody know how I can configure a virtual host to take me to a secure page aka https....

Say I type mail.blah.com, I want it to take me to:

https://mail.blah.com

My virtual host at the moment looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mail.blah.com
DocumentRoot /xxx/yyy/zzz/mail
ServerAdmin depp@blah.com
</VirtualHost>

Thanks for any good ideas :)

Nah...

I can just edit the httpd.conf file using vi, I'm more interested in what to put in the file. I tried playing around with this using no-ip.org i.e change the target so that a user typing http://mail.blah.com would get routed to https://mail.blah.com (notice the addition of the 's') but for some reason it didn't like that...

Umm ... I tend to believe that the protocol-
selection is a matter of the browser, mate.

If you want to be "forced" into a secure
connection you'll have to put a link to
the secure page on a normal http-page,
maybe with a invisible, automatic
redirection ... but that, again, is not a
thing of your httpd.conf, but of your
index.html.


Not quite sure what you want, though.

OK, That's fine, just curious if there was an 'easy' way to do it, I kind of want to enforce that a user can only login using https (ssl), telling users to use mail.blah.com is better than www.blah.com then hit this button (one less step!).

Thanks for helping.

Have a look at Apache's mod_rewrite.

It's easy, really :)

All you need is
index.html

So many options :D

Thanks, I can crack it from there. I appreciate the quick responses, this is COOL :)
