I'm not saying that ErrorDocument won't work, just that it's a bit of a hack.

The conventional way (and 'better' for a number of reasons) is to use the RewriteEngine. I seem to recall that there's a way to turn on logging for the rewrite engine if you're having a problem with it.

Here's the RewriteRule I'm presently using:
RewriteRule ^/(webmail.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301,L]

Upon closer examination, I see that
RewriteRule ^(.*/webmail*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [L,R]
appears to be missing a period after webmail. I believe that it should be:
RewriteRule ^(.*/webmail.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [L,R]
Subtle, but big difference. I believe this would work, the same as the one I'm using above.

That's exactly where I am having problems and that's the only way I can get it to work. If I have the welcome.conf enabled it goes to the apache welcome page instead of redirecting and the log file says failed, reason: SSL connection required. If I disable the welcome.conf and include the Error 403 line it works. I was just testing it with the variable when I received this e mail.Quoting Eric Shubert <[email protected]>:

It appears as though you have a default configuration. Replace this in your squirrelmail.conf file.

<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail>
  Options None
  Order allow,deny

with this

<Directory "/usr/share/squirrelmail">
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*/webmail*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [L,R]
allow from all
Options
SSLRequireSSL
ErrorDocument 403 "https://your.server.com/webmail/";
</Directory>

You will need to change the your.server.com to your server name.

You shouldn't need the ErrorDocument line.

In addision, if you were to use that hack, it'd be better to use the %{SERVER_NAME} variable instead of hard coding your domain name.
