Redirect http to https problem

[SEAN MCELROY <sean.mcelroy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

Java: 1.6

Tomcat: 6

Httpd: 2.2

 

I have developed a java/flex application hosted on tomcat/httpd. I want to prevent users from accessing this site via http, but I can't get my rediect working.

This page: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/avoid.html suggests that I should user a rediect so I have configure this as follows:

 

<VirtualHost *:80>
Redirect / https://sean.home:443
</VirtualHost>

 

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

#   General setup for the virtual host
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
ServerName sean.home:443
...

</VirtualHost>

 

This hasn't had the desired affect, and so I have a few questions.

Starting with the obvious, have I done this correctly?

 

Also, I have added some extra configuration so that my flex app loads and works correctly and I'm wondering if this has affected my redirect. The additional configuration includes:

 

VirtualHost _default_:443 configuration contains these lines:

ProxyPass /buildnet/ http://localhost:8080/buildnet/
ProxyPassReverse /buildnet/ http://localhost:8080/buildnet/

 

httpd-jk.conf file which includes:

JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties
JkMountFile conf/uriworkermap.properties
JkLogLevel    debug

 

Any help at all appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Sean
