http redirection to httpd

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/
|

Re: http redirection to httpd

Hi John,

Thank you for the reply. I also found one more way to do it ...

Added the following directive in httpd.conf



RewriteEngine On
ReWriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}:443%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,R=permanent,L]


However, now the problem is, I also needed the users to authenticate by
htaccess file. But keeping .htaccess file in /var/www/html/private is not
working. I mean in that case, first the system asks password in an unsecured
mechanism and then only https redirection is working. I wanted just the
reverse...first establish secure connection and then only ask the user for
password...

Any clue on it ??

Then you will probably have to create 2 VirtualHost, and place your
authentication in the HTTPS host.

Listen *:80
Listen *:443
....

your HTTP host config


your HTTPS host config


AuthType Basic
AuthName private
...
