No, you missed the trailing slash:

 Redirect permanent / https://subdomain.domain.ac.za/

Fwd: [users@httpd] Virtual Host - Port 80 to 443

It seems correct.

If you have several virtualhosts for different subdomains you should define
them on the same fashion as what you just showed.. If this is Apache 2.2.x
 and you have several virtualhosts not just 1 for 80 and 1 for 443, you
should have NameVirtualHost *:80 and NameVirtualHost *:443 (if you are
certainly using VirtualHost *:port in all cases.

It really depends on what you want to do, but premise are:
* VirtualHost should always have a port in it along with * or ip
* Each virtualhost should have a servername specifying which host name it
is supposed to serve.
* To redirect to SSL a Redirect is enough in the non-SSL virtualhost. (no
need for mod_rewrite).
* 2.2.x requires namevirtualhost directive in order to not deliver all
requests to first virtualhost that matches the ip:port combination.

Dear Daniel

 

Thank you for the quick the reply. It is much appreciated.

 

If I understand you correctly, then the example below should be correct and 
will work for all the subdomains as well.

 



    ServerName subdomain1.domain.ac.za

 

    Redirect permanent / https://subdomain.domain.ac.za

 



 



    ServerName subdomain1.domain.ac.za

 

    SSLEngine On

    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/x.key

    SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ x.crt

 

    DocumentRoot "/var/www/subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html"

    

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

 # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess 
files.

    AllowOverride All

    # Controls who can get stuff from this server file

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

   

    

    ServerEnvironment apache apache

    



 

Kind Regards

Leon

  is totally invalid. Use *:80 or *:443 or ip:port but never "*" 
alone.

 

Also if you define *:80 and there you want to redirect to the SSL virtualhost 
by all means use the http scheme in the redirect directive like:

Redirect permanent / https://subdomain.domain.ac.za/

Dear Community

 

I hope you are doing well today.

 

May I kindly ask your assistance since HTTPD is not my strong point?  I have 
several virtual host conf files that have the structure below.  I am now trying 
to change them so that incoming visitors from port 80 are being redirected to 
port 443:

 

 



ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za

DocumentRoot "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html"



Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

 # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in 
.htaccess files.

AllowOverride All

# Controls who can get stuff from this server file

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

   



ServerEnvironment apache apache







If a change it to this structure below to redirect the traffic from port 80 
to 443, I am getting the error message that connection is not private and if I 
continue I am getting the default Apache page instead of the intended site’s 
home page.





ServerName subdomain.domain,ac,za



SSLEngine On

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/xx.key

SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xx.crt



RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME} [R,L]



DocumentRoot "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html"



Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

 # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in

AllowOverride All

# Controls who can get stuff from this server file

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

If I change it to this structure below, the page is presented when using 
the url https://subdomain.domain.ac.za/ but not http://subdomain.domain.ac.za/

AllowOverride All

# Controls who can get stuff from this server file

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

Last virhost structure that I tried is similar to the one below.  When applying 
these changes to other virtual hosts files, I am not re-directed to the right 
site, i.e.  url https://subdom

[users@httpd] Virtual Host - Port 80 to 443

[Leon Vergottini]

Dear Community

 

I hope you are doing well today.

 

May I kindly ask your assistance since HTTPD is not my strong point?  I have 
several virtual host conf files that have the structure below.  I am now trying 
to change them so that incoming visitors from port 80 are being redirected to 
port 443:

 

 



    ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za

    DocumentRoot "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html"

    

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

 # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in 
.htaccess files.

    AllowOverride All

    # Controls who can get stuff from this server file

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

   

    

    ServerEnvironment apache apache

    

    

    

If a change it to this structure below to redirect the traffic from port 80 
to 443, I am getting the error message that connection is not private and if I 
continue I am getting the default Apache page instead of the intended site’s 
home page.

    



    ServerName subdomain.domain,ac,za

    

SSLEngine On

    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/xx.key

    SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xx.crt

    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME} [R,L]

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

 # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in

    AllowOverride All

    # Controls who can get stuff from this server file

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

   

    

    ServerEnvironment apache apache

    

    

    

If I change it to this structure below, the page is presented when using 
the url https://subdomain.domain.ac.za/ but not http://subdomain.domain.ac.za/

    



    ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za

    

SSLEngine On

    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xx.key

    SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xx.crt

    

DocumentRoot "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html"

    

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

 # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in 
.htaccess files.

    AllowOverride All

    # Controls who can get stuff from this server file

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

   

    

    ServerEnvironment apache apache

    

    

 

Last virhost structure that I tried is similar to the one below.  When applying 
these changes to other virtual hosts files, I am not re-directed to the right 
site, i.e.  url https://subdomain1.domain.ac.za gets redirected to 
https://subdomain.domain.ac.za. 

 



   ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za

   DocumentRoot "/var/www/subdomain.cornerstone.ac.za/public_html"

   Redirect permanent / subdomain.domain.ac.za



 



   ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za

    

SSLEngine On

    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xx.key

    SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xx.crt

    

DocumentRoot "/var/www/subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html"

    

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

 # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in 
.htaccess files.

    AllowOverride All

    # Controls who can get stuff from this server file

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

   

    

    ServerEnvironment apache apache

    

 

In addition, I have received serveral .crt files for a wild card certificate 
issues by Comodo.  Do I have to include them all and how will a go about doing 
so, if I have to?

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Kind Regards

Leon
