Re: Redirect HTTP to HTTPS does not work (mod_rewrite)

[Sean Alderman <salderman1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Assuming there is additional URL coming after /dashboard when the server sends you the login page...

e.g. /dashboard/login.php

...Your redirect will not match with the $ at the end of the condition...

RewriteRule ^/dashboard$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/dashboard [R=301,L]

says <beginning of line>/dashboard<end of line>, so /dashboard/login.php (or whatever additional path elements there may be) will not match.

Perhaps try:

RewriteRule ^/dashboard https://%{HTTP_HOST}/dashboard [R=301,L]

Or:

RewriteRule ^/dashboard(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/dashboard$1 [R=301,L]

There shouldnt be empty line between these two.

Hi Igor,

In the conf file there isn't empty line between then:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on

RewriteRule ^/dashboard$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/dashboard [R=301,L]

and I got the same problem after the redirect. I'm going to create a Virtualhost for this site and test using RedirectSSL, something like:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName mysite.example.com
   DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
   Redirect permanent /secure https://mysite.example.com/secure
</VirtualHost>

and see what happens.

Thanks again
