[users@httpd] Redirect Problem
We're running Apache 2.0.46 on Red Hat kernel 2.4. We're trying to
shorten the URL our clients have to use to connect to an application.
We have three environments; development, test, and production. Our
approach is to create a DNS entry in the format of
environment.appname.domain and have it resolve to
environment.webserver.domain and when they arrive look at what
application they are seeking and redirect them to
environment.webserver.domain/appname. We've got this working with the
DNS as described and the following entry in the httpd.conf file.
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName test.appname.domain
ServerAlias *
Redirect permanent / https://testweb.domain/appname </VirtualHost>
Our problem is that if clients mistakenly enter
https://test.appname.domain instead of http://test.appname.domain they
are directed to the default page of https://testweb.domain which is the
index.html file.
How can we fix this, and is there a better way to solve the original
problem?
Thanks in advance for your help;
Ed

[users@httpd] Install / setup troubles
Posted by Bill Angus <md...@psychtest.com>.
Dear Vasiliy:
It seems that I am getting an error message in the log file that
[warn] Init: (www.psychtest.com:443) You configured HTTP(80) on the standard HTTPS(443) port!
If I let the conf.ssl script proceed to the point where it tries configure SSL on, the server terminates.
What I have been trying to do is to use https on port 443 and http on port 80
I have a single dedicated IP address -- DNS pointing to the address 209.121.79.58
I would like to serve incoming to the above IP address port 80 as http and incoming port 443 as https:
Thanks and have a great day!

Bill,
Yes, you can :) Its all about how you configure your
VirtualHosts. If you elaborate a bit, I would be glad to shoot a sample
config :)

This is a bit of a newbie question --- But can one have named virtual hosts on port 80 but still run SSL on the same server by not having any named virtual hosts on port 443 ?

(repost, aparently some keypresses are interpreted by gmail as hotkey
and caused a prematures send)
Probably https requests are not processed by te virtual server you
described above. Have a look at the ssl config. Also it is not
possible to have namevirtual hosts under ssl, so all ssl requests will
go to the same virtual host (probably the first)
a command that might give you some hints as to what gets processed by
which part of the config is:
httpd -S -DSSL
You could do what you are trying above with a rewrite. This would save
you having to add virtual hosts for every app.
For example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(dev|test|prod)\.(.*)\.domain$
RewriteRule (.*)
https://%1web.domain/%2/$1 [R,L]

Probably https requests are not processed by te virtual server you

possible to have namevirtual hosts under ssl, so all ssl requests will
go to the same virtual host (probably the first)
