I have tried the .htaccess method of forcing ssl. But it never works on my server. I have modrewrite loaded. Any other solution? I need to force the full site to ssl.

You can require SSL with the (appropriately named) directive:
Code:
SSLRequireSSL
That's different than redirecting / rewriting requests from one TCP port to another, though. Any container with the above directive will barf out an HTTP 403 if a non-SSL client attempts to access it.
BTW, I'm assuming you're talking Apache web server? Version 2.2? (That's good info to include in your question.)

yea. It is apache 2.2. Sorry for not giving enough details. But if we use SSLRequireSSL , it will give error page if some one access the http. But, I just need to force ssl.
