Re: Urgent !!! - Rewrite issue

Hello Spliff,

The rewirtes that you have specified is performing the same.

https://<localhost> is not being redirected to https://<dnsname>

However, 

http://<localhost> is redirected to https://<dns name>

Since the ssl ceritificate is installed only for the dns name, When I am accessing https://localhost, It says ssl is installed for differncet common name, Do you still want to access the site.

Please let me know if there is any fix to this.

I think you're saying you want:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^<localhostname>$

RewriteRule (.*) https://<dnsname>%{REQUEST_URI}

As long as you are checking for https or port 443 in the rewrite condition you're not redirecting anywhere on HTTPS
requests. If you want HTTPS to redirect then your condition is blocking that. The rules above send ALL requests to
the dnsname using https regardless of the scheme actually requested. That seems to be the behaviour you're asking for.

This all assumes you are using this rule in your port 80 and port 433 virtualhosts.
