using rewrite with mod_ssl
i have successfully limited access to a dirctory using mod_ssl. meaning
that the files in that directory will only show when it uses ssl
protocol. but when it doesn't uses ssl protocol but just,
http://hostname/manual, it gives me a page can't be displayed message.
i thought that with the rewrite, it would automatically send it to the ssl
protocol (https://hostname/manual). i am wrong to think this?
this is the rewrite statement i have in my httpd.conf
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^/manual/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]
how can i set up my server so that when someone goes to
http://hostname/manual, they will automatically get redirected?

Re: mod_ssl newbie
you probably want to look at .htaccess which would prompt people for userid and password to access certain parts of your webserver. ssl provides encryption so that data being sent back and forth between your server and the client can't be easily read.

I changed the port on my apache web server to 443. On a high level what do i need to do to create a secure web server? I guess my real problem is i don't know what ssl does for me. What i am looking for is something that can password protect the files on my server. I want to let specific people to access my site and that is it. They must have a password to use it. Is mod_ssl what i want or should i be looking else where? thanks for any input, brian __ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager[EMAIL PROTECTED] Peter Choe __ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager[EMAIL PROTECTED]
mod_ssl and mod_jk
i am trying to get mod_jk to work with mod_ssl. i am able to compile mod_jk. but when i try to start apache and i have mod_jk and mod_ssl enable, i get a message saying that apache cannot start. if i have one or the other, apache can start. is this a known problem? how i can fix this?

simple question
i am very new to mod_ssl. i am trying to figure out how to set up some specific directories to accept ssl connection. i have looked at the documentation and the mail archives, but was unable to decpiher how to do this. when i look at the httpd.conf file, i saw a documentroot specifing the root directory of my webserver. if i changed that to a directory below, it doesn't seem to affect whether or not the root document is no longer ssl enable. any help would be appreciated.
