VirtualHost Redirect to HTTPS, SSLRequireSSL? ModRewrite?

Question posted by: dlite922 (Site Addict) on July 3rd, 2008 08:46 PM

I need help with redirecting virtualhosts to use HTTPS (SSL) when they type in HTTP

Must work in IE.

Right now there is two virtual host blocks for every subdomain.

I want to combine the virtual hosts so that I don't have one for port 80 (which basically gives you a page that says type https, UGH! ugly!), and one for port 443

Current Config:

Code: ( text )

<VirtualHost x.x.x.x:80>
ServerName sub1.example.com
DocumentRoot...
DirectoryIndex...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost x.x.x.x:443>
ServerName sub1.example.com
SSL Engine on
SSLCertificateFile ...
SSLCertificateKeyFile...
SSLCertificateChainFile...
DocumentRoot...
DirectoryIndex...
</VirtualHost>

How can I combine those to that if someone types in HTTP it redirects to HTTPS.

(I know its ModRewrite but I don't know how, GoogleSearch examples were confusing. )

SSLRequireSSL gives you an access denied page if not SSL?

thanks in advance,

Dan
