Hi there -- I got it to work using the following syntax in the httpd.conf file: <VirtualHost <FQDN:80> ServerName FQDN ServerAdmin <email address> DocumentRoot /var/www/html DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml RewriteEngine on RewtireCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$ RewriteRule ^/premium(.*)$ https:FQDN/registered$l [L,R] RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/rewrite.log" RewriteLogLevel 4 Redirect / https:FQDN/ </VirtualHost> I restarted Apache, and when I entered the text http:FQDN/mail, I was redirected to the secure page. Thanks for the help. -----Original Message----- From: Vincent Bray [mailto:noodlet@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2007 9:52 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Automatic Redirect to a Secure Page in Apache 2.2.2 On 07/03/07, Kaplan, Andrew H. <AHKAPLAN@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > 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>" That's wrong for two reasons. The first argument to Redirect(Permanent) is a local uri reference such as / or /foo/bar.baz etc. Using http://.. for that argument will never match. And speaking of never matching, the directive is in the wrong place if it's in the ssl vhost. non-ssl requests are governed by a separate context (a different VirtualHost) so if you want to redirect http://.. requests, you must edit the http://.. vhost. Makes sense? -- noodl --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
