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. <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName subdomain1.domain.ac.za Redirect permanent / https://subdomain.domain.ac.za </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:443> ServerName subdomain1.domain.ac.za SSLEngine On SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/xxxxxxxxx.key SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xxxxxxxxx.crt DocumentRoot "/var/www/subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html" <Directory "/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 </Directory> <IfModule mpm_peruser_module> ServerEnvironment apache apache </IfModule> </VirtualHost> Kind Regards Leon From: Daniel <dferra...@gmail.com> Reply-To: <users@httpd.apache.org> Date: Thursday, 14 July 2016 at 11:40 AM To: "<users@httpd.apache.org>" <users@httpd.apache.org> Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Virtual Host - Port 80 to 443 <VirtualHost *> 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/ 2016-07-14 11:31 GMT+02:00 Leon Vergottini <le...@cornerstone.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: <VirtualHost *> ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za DocumentRoot "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html" <Directory "/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 </Directory> <IfModule mpm_peruser_module> ServerEnvironment apache apache </IfModule> </VirtualHost> 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. <VirtualHost *> ServerName subdomain.domain,ac,za SSLEngine On SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/xxxxxx.key SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xxxxxx.crt RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME} [R,L] DocumentRoot "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html" <Directory "/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 </Directory> <IfModule mpm_peruser_module> ServerEnvironment apache apache </IfModule> </VirtualHost> 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/ <VirtualHost *:443> ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za SSLEngine On SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xxxxxx.key SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xxxxxx.crt DocumentRoot "/var/www/ subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html" <Directory "/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 </Directory> <IfModule mpm_peruser_module> ServerEnvironment apache apache </IfModule> </VirtualHost> 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. <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za DocumentRoot "/var/www/subdomain.cornerstone.ac.za/public_html" Redirect permanent / subdomain.domain.ac.za </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost _default_:443> ServerName subdomain.domain.ac.za SSLEngine On SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xxxxxx.key SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/cnrstone/ xxxxxx.crt DocumentRoot "/var/www/subdomain.domain.ac.za/public_html" <Directory "/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 </Directory> <IfModule mpm_peruser_module> ServerEnvironment apache apache </IfModule></VirtualHost> 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.
