redirctiong apache to apache-ssl

[edd]

Hello.
I am using debian 3.1 sarge and i have apache and apache-ssl packages installed.

I want users to use ssl connection only. I can remove apache and leave only apache-ssl but I am sure that users will forget to type https in front of the server address.

The following php code in the /var/www/index.php is not working:

<?php
header("Location: https://server_adr/anotherdir/start.php"); /* Redirect browser to the secure server */
/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>

Any ideas?

hm, for me that works fine.

however, you can use the simple way by

Code: Select all

<?php
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT='10; URL=https://server_adr/anotherdir/start.php'>"
?>

you might use an alias in your httpd.conf like

Code: Select all

Alias /var/www https://yoursslserver.name/whatever/

as well.

check redirect options for htaccess files as well or use Rewrite Rules.
best is to check the apache manual pages for that.
