RE: Automatic Redirect to a Secure Page in Apache 2.2.2

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

 



Hi there --

I checked the ssl.conf file, and there is a RedirectPermanent line already in
place. The line reads as follows:

RedirectPermanent http://<website/alias> "https://<website/alias>"

I can get to the secure website if I manually enter the following text in the
web browser:

https://<website/alias>

However, if I enter http://<website/alias>, I get the insecure connection and am
not automatically redirected to the secure site. 

What else do I need to do? Thanks.

The simplest way to do this is via:
RedirectPermanent / https://example.com/
in a non-ssl vhost. You can get more complicated by using
RedirectMatch ^/something$ https:// if you wish to redirect only
certain urls, and more complicated yet using mod_rewrite.
See here if you like complication:
