Title: Redirecting all web traffic from HTTP to HTTPS
Post by: santiagon on March 19, 2007, 10:53:35 PM

Hi all--

I tried searching SSL and HTTPS, to no avail.

Is there a way of effectively redirecting any traffic bound for port 80 (HTTP) to port 443 (HTTPS)?

I know that the server manager does it, along with some contribs, but is there a way to make it work for the entire Apache setup?

Please advise.

Stupid question... Why would you want to do that?

I'm using this box basically as a secure DB server, so all web traffic should be SSLed.

Add a general rewrite rule like done for the server-manager and webmail, see the configuration templates and the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.cionf configuration file.

Part solution... stop listening on port 80.

Code: [Select]

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
touch /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/35Listen80
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith restart

In combination with the rewrite rule above would make it complete.
