Hi,

I have two webpages...

1. www.mypage.com and
2. www.mypage.com/private

The issue that I am having is, I need to redirect all http requests coming
to http://www.mypage.com/private to https://www.mypage.com

However, I don't want the requests coming to http://www.mypage.com to be
redirected to https://www.mypage.com.


How do I accomplish it ?

I will highly appreciate your suggestions..Thanks..
  

Simplest solution is the Redirect directive:
>From http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect :

The Redirect directive maps an old URL into a new one by asking the client to refetch the resource at the new location.

The old URL-path is a case-sensitive (%-decoded) path beginning with a slash. A relative path is not allowed. The new URL should be an absolute URL beginning with a scheme and hostname.

Example:

Redirect /service http://foo2.bar.com/service

If the client requests http://myserver/service/foo.txt, it will be told to access http://foo2.bar.com/service/foo.txt instead.

So in your case you would use something like:

Redirect /private https://foo2.bar.com/
