Hi,

I'm currently running an Apache web server with Mod_SSL, and have the
following virtual host statement:

<VirtualHost mywebserver:8080>
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /xx/xxx/xxx.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /xx/xxx/xxx.key
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
</IfModule>
ServerName mywebserver
DocumentRoot /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx
<Directory /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews +ExecCGI
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

If I connect using http, I get an Apache error stating that this an SSL
enabled server, and I should use https.

My question is, how do I get it to redirect from http to https? This seem=
s
easy enough if you aren't running a virtual server on a specific port and
just want to redirect to https for certain directories, but in this
configuration I've not been able to achieve this.

Thanks,

CIMLinux

You'll have to run another virtual server on another
port. Then redirect to your https server. You can't
run http/https on the same port. Suggest 8080 as http
and 8443 as https. Then ...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "logs/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://xxxx:8443/$1 [R=301,L]
