[users@httpd] Question concerning https/http and another concerning subdomains
I am current designing the outlook of a departmental webserver for my
university, and I have run into the following two questions. I have
searched the FAQ...etc....but if I overlooked them I apologize and please
direct me to them.
Question #1: Is there a method by which I would be able to operate one
apache webserver operating on the https protocol, but allow it to accept
users typing the standard http:// rather than https://. This would provide
less change for the users, and more security for the system.
Question #2: How would I go about creating a subdomain in
apache, for example if my webserver is www.csc.lsu.edu, how could I create
a "subweb" bearing the URL classes.csc.lsu.edu?
Thank you for your assistance

Mark,
For question #1, you can setup a http redirect to the https URL.
For question #2, set up the DNS entry for www.csc.lsu.edu and set a virtual
host to use that URL. The information was provided by Ryan.
Hope that helps.
