I think you can get away with not setting any virtual host on the
standard port 80, and have mod_rewrite run there and produce redirects
on the same vhost and directory to the SSL virtual hosts.
Hey, that exactly what I was about to say.
I will remember this! And "I know (or will know) where you live"...
Anyway,
You can set this up using mod_rewrite.
Assuming your are using debian etch (because that's the right thing to do (TM))
Have the following in your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/rewrite.log
#RewriteLogLevel 10
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=permanent,NS,L] #,PT
</IfModule>
Then under each VirtualHost you to supply content via SSL only have
those two lines:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
I have this setup on my vps. mx1.rfsee.net and vps.rfsee.net both
point to the same server. mx1 is set to deliver plain http, while vps
is configured to always use https:
http://mx1.rfsee.net/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=apache_always_use_https
http://vps.rfsee.net/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=apache_always_use_https
