HTTP --> HTTPS rewrite not working

Greetz all,

I'm trying to force one of my virtual hosts to use https when http is
requested by a mod_rewrite rule. I am testing the implementation using
curl.

When I specify https in my url, curl will grab the correct page:

[root@molodetz:~]# curl https://family.sancho2k.net







But when I throw http://family.sancho2k.net ...

[root@molodetz:~]# curl http://family.sancho2k.net


This is my VirtualHost configuration:

NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.40:443

ServerName family.sancho2k.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/fam_public_html
ServerAdmin sancho@sancho2k.net
CustomLog logs/family/access_log combined
ErrorLog logs/family/error_log
TransferLog logs/family/ssl_access_log
LogLevel debug
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /var/www/conf/certs/family/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /var/www/conf/certs/family/server.key
UseCanonicalName off
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]
#SSLVerifyClient require
#SSLVerifyDepth 1
#SSLCACertificateFile conf/certs/cacert.crt


Why is it redirecting my requests to www.sancho2k.net? This is a
seperate virtual host I have set up:

NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.2:80

ServerName www.sancho2k.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs
ServerAdmin webmaster@sancho2k.net
SSLEngine off



Thanks in advance for help.

DS

Re: HTTP --> HTTPS rewrite not working

Well, you have the ReWrite rule INSIDE the destination SSL VH config.. A
bit useless..

The ReWrite needs to be inside the VH configs that NEED to redirect - such
as 10.0.0.40:80, Servername family.sancho2k.net

As for why http://family.sancho2k.net is sending a webpage with a meta-tag
redirect - What is actually being server for that address ???
It is probably your default page you have put there..

This will never happen because you're already inside the Port 443
vhost container.

Redirect / https://family.sancho2k.net

No real need to use mod_rewrite for that.

Stupid oversight on my behalf. Thanks to those that pointed this out.

And it works with the simple redirect. Surprisingly, most of the howtos
and internet resources I find suggest using mod_rewrite to direct all
requests to the SSL site. Thanks for the clarification.
