The Redirect permanent /private https://*******/private failed in the main server config. As did a bunch of other alternatives. However, your suggestion to use RedirectPermanent provided by mod_alias within the virtual host container worked like a charm. I did not see this approach within the excellent documentation. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: "Andr Warnier" [aw@xxxxxxxxxx] Date: 12/28/2009 12:32 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Redirect permanent http to https fails Jeff Shearer wrote: > The following redirect fails: > > Redirect permanent http://192.168.0.200/private https://192.168.0.200/private That may be because you have not read the (excellent) on-line documentation, which states : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#redirectpermanent is exactly equivalenent to "Redirect permanent", which itself http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect states that the URL is a URL *path*, starting with "/". So, what happens if you just say Redirect permanent /private https://192.168.0.200/private ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
