[users@httpd] mod_rewrite question(s)

[Steve Blandford <steve.blandford@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been trying to use mod_rewrite to have http calls on a couple of 
directories and either all .php or one specific .php file rewritten as 
https calls.

I have been able to use <directory successfully to get the directories 
to rewrite but I cannot for the life of me get a rewrite of

http://www.domain.com/xxxx.php to rewrite to https://www.domain.com/xxxx.php

I am finding out just how tricky mod_rewrite and regular expressions can be.

Another problem I am seeing is even though I have logging turned on in 
my conf file, and that the log file was created, nothing has been 
written to it...

Here is the portion of my conf file relating to the problem. (domain 
names have been changed to protect the innocent)

       #    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
       #    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
       #    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
       #</VirtualHost>

       RewriteEngine On


       NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.3:80
        
       <VirtualHost 10.0.0.3:80>
           DocumentRoot /var/www/v1.domain.com/html/public
           ServerName www.domain.com
           RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/rewrite_log"
           RewriteLogLevel 8
           ServerAlias *.domain.com *.domain.co.uk
           Alias /merchant /var/www/v1.domain.com/html/merchant
           Alias /admin /var/www/v1.domain.com/html/admin
           ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /var/www/v1.domain.com/cgi-bin
           ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domain.com-error_log
           CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domain.com-access_log common
       </VirtualHost>

       # 1
       <Directory "/var/www/v1.domain.com/html/admin">
           Options FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride All   
           RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
           RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%www.domain.com/$1 [R]
       </Directory>

       #2
       <Directory "/var/www/v1.domain.com/html/merchant">
           Options FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride All
           RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
           RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%www.domain.com/$1 [R]
       </Directory>

       <Directory "/var/www/v1.domain.com/cgi-bin">
         SetHandler perl-script
         PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
         PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
         Options +ExecCGI
       </Directory>

The #1 and #2 ones work. currently. They take any request that is not 
https and convert it to https.


Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers
Steve Blandford
