Redirect permanent http to https fails

The following redirect fails:

Redirect permanent http://192.168.0.200/private https://192.168.0.200/privat=
e

I have 2 virtual hosts with exactly the same DocumentRoot:





private is a directory under the DocumentRoot.

I can reach https://192.168.0.200/private directly.

Please help. Thanks.

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#redirect permanent
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

?

Re: Redirect permanent http to https fails

The Redirect permanent /private https://*******/private failed in the main s=
erver config. As did a bunch of other alternatives.

However, your suggestion to use RedirectPermanent provided by mod_alias with=
in the virtual host container worked like a charm.

I did not see this approach within the excellent documentation.

Thanks.

You have virtual hosts configured, many directives from main server config
usually won't get used in this case.

as would "Redirect permanent". Your problem was the context where you've had
this directive, not the directive itself.

maybe you just did not read or understand it fully...

And, I hope you do understand the difference between /private and /private/
in these cases
