[SOLVED] Apache 2.x: http for some paths and https for other paths

john lee · 07-16-2012, 01:26 AM

I am wondering if this can really be done in Apache.

I have installed several web applications on one single 2.x Apache server on Centos 6. I have installed SSL in Apache as well.

I would like to achieve the following:
For App A: user must access using https://samehostname.com/secure
For App B: user must access using http://samehostname.com/public

Any thoughts?

Make everything go through SSL (https). I don't really see a reason why you want to use the mix of http/https for the setup you describe.
