Re: Virtual Host - Port 80 to 443

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 <VirtualHost *> is totally invalid. Use *:80 or *:443 or ip:port but never "*" alone.

Also if you define *:80 and there you want to redirect to the SSL virtualhost by all means use the http scheme in the redirect directive like:
Redirect permanent / https://subdomain.domain.ac.za/

Dear Community

 

I hope you are doing well today.

 

May I kindly ask your assistance since HTTPD is not my strong point?  I have several virtual host conf files that have the structure below.  I am now trying to change them so that incoming visitors from port 80 are being redirected to port 443:

 

 

<VirtualHost *>

            ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za

            DocumentRoot "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html"

                    <Directory "/var/www/subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html">

                    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

             # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.

                            AllowOverride All

            # Controls who can get stuff from this server file

                            Order allow,deny

                            Allow from all

               </Directory>

            <IfModule mpm_peruser_module>

                    ServerEnvironment apache apache

            </IfModule>

    </VirtualHost>

   

    If a change it to this structure below to redirect the traffic from port 80 to 443, I am getting the error message that connection is not private and if I continue I am getting the default Apache page instead of the intended site’s home page.

   

    <VirtualHost *>

            ServerName subdomain.domain,ac,za

   

            SSLEngine On

            SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/xxxxxx.key

            SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xxxxxx.crt

   

            RewriteEngine On

            RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

            RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME} [R,L]

   

            DocumentRoot "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html"

                    <Directory "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html">

                    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

             # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.

                            AllowOverride All

            # Controls who can get stuff from this server file

                            Order allow,deny

                            Allow from all

               </Directory>

            <IfModule mpm_peruser_module>

                    ServerEnvironment apache apache

            </IfModule>

    </VirtualHost>

   

    If I change it to this structure below, the page is presented when using the url https://subdomain.domain.ac.za/ but not http://subdomain.domain.ac.za/

   

    <VirtualHost *:443>

            ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za

   

            SSLEngine On

            SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xxxxxx.key

            SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xxxxxx.crt

   

            DocumentRoot "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html"

                    <Directory "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html">

                    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

             # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.

                            AllowOverride All

            # Controls who can get stuff from this server file

                            Order allow,deny

                            Allow from all

               </Directory>

            <IfModule mpm_peruser_module>

                    ServerEnvironment apache apache

            </IfModule>

    </VirtualHost>

 

Last virhost structure that I tried is similar to the one below.  When applying these changes to other virtual hosts files, I am not re-directed to the right site, i.e.  url https://subdomain1.domain.ac.za gets redirected to https://subdomain.domain.ac.za.

 

<VirtualHost *:80>

   ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za

   DocumentRoot "/var/www/subdomain.cornerstone.ac.za/public_html"

   Redirect permanent / subdomain.domain.ac.za

</VirtualHost>

 

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

   ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za

   

            SSLEngine On

            SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xxxxxx.key

            SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xxxxxx.crt

   

            DocumentRoot "/var/www/subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html"

                    <Directory "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html">

                    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

             # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.

                            AllowOverride All

            # Controls who can get stuff from this server file

                            Order allow,deny

                            Allow from all

               </Directory>

            <IfModule mpm_peruser_module>

                    ServerEnvironment apache apache

            </IfModule></VirtualHost>

 

In addition, I have received serveral .crt files for a wild card certificate issues by Comodo.  Do I have to include them all and how will a go about doing so, if I have to?

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Kind Regards

Leon
