Hi, I am using ubunto 8.0.4 and apache 2.2.8 and I'm having some issue with mod rewrite and SSL redirection.
I have two objectives. The first is to redirect http://www.site.co.za<https://www.site.co.za/> and http://site.co.za <https://www.site.co.za/> to the url https://www.site.co.za and the second is to redirect all traffic for https://site.co.za to https://www.site.co.za. I can get the first part working perfectly using the following: <VirtualHost www.site.co.za:80 <http://site.co.za/>> ServerName www.site.co.za ServerAlias site.co.za DocumentRoot /var/www/site.co.za ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/site.co.za.co.za-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/site.co.za-access_log common RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://www.site.co.za%{REQUEST_URI} RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/site.co.za-rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 3 </VirtualHost> But for the life of me I cannot get the second part working, I've tried of this: <VirtualHost www.site.co.za:80 <http://www.site.co.za/>> ... RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on RewriteRule (.*) https://www.site.co.za%{REQUEST_URI} RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/site.co.za-rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 3 RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$ RewriteRule (.*) https://www.site.co.za%{REQUEST_URI} RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/site.co.za-rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 3 </VirtualHost> and this: <VirtualHost www.site.co.za:443> ... RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/ssl-site.co.za-rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 3 </VirtualHost> I've even add this to the .htaccess file in /var/www/site.co.za but still no joy: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/ssl-site.co.za-rewrite_log For some strange reason mod-rewrite seems to be ignoring the SSL traffic even when I remove all rules except for the SSL https://site.co.za to https://www.site.co.za rewrite rule and when I tryhttps://site.co.za I get nothing in the rewrite log files. Any ideas? Thanks
