Re: HTTPS and .htaccess

[Frank Gingras <thumbs@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You don't need to use .htaccess files, nor mod_rewrite. Run apachectl -S and edit the appropriate vhost. Set the DocumentRoot and DirectoryIndex properly, and also look into FallbackResource.

Hi

I have configured a Centos server with httpd for ssl support. Prior to that when I entered http://w.x.y.z I was able to see in the install page. After configuring ssl, I removed all files from /var/www/html and was able to see the test page when entering https://somewhere.com

Now when I put website files in /var/www/html and enter https://somewhere.com, I get this error

Not Found

The requested URL /install/install.php was not found on this server.

It seems that .htaccess file is incomplete for https access. However, I don't know what rules should I add. I also searched for similar things but didn't find a clear answer.

The content of the virtualhost is

[root@localhost html]# cat /etc/httpd/sites-available/moto.conf
<VirtualHost *:443>
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /home/snadmin/certi/certificate-standard_wildcard.somewhere.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/snadmin/certi/certificate-standard_wildcard.somewhere.key
    SSLCertificateChainFile /home/snadmin/certi/intermediate.crt
    <Directory /var/www/html/>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
          Order allow,deny
          allow from all
          Require all granted
    </Directory>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
    ServerName somewhere.com
</VirtualHost>

and the content of .htaccess is

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

AddEncoding gzip .gz
AddEncoding gzip .gzip
<FilesMatch "\.(js.gz|js.gzip)$">

Any thought?
