I have numerous issues that I need some assistance. I'm creating a website that will involve credit card processing. I have SSL certificate installed and that part of the code works. The problem is when I process credit cards I invoke https and when im done I want to switch back to http://www.example.com. I was looking for the best solution online to do that and a lot of people suggested mod_rewrite. I have not used mod_rewrite before so I went to investigate how to use it. So my second problem kicks in here. I have created a .htacess file and configure my http.conf to this <Directory "/home/njau_ndirangu/public_html/docs"> # # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All", # or any combination of: # Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews # # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you. # # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options # for more information. # Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews # # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit AllowOverride AuthConfig # # Controls who can get stuff from this server. # Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> I don't think my .htaccess is being detected at all. I was wondering how you can test mod_rewrite to make sure it is functional. I can see the module is enabled in http.conf LoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.so LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so So once I solve this that will bring me back to my first problem. How do I switch between http and https?
