Help - Redirect http to https

[ikarumbah]

I have created a vhost.conf file under /home/httpd/vhosts/<domain-name>/conf with the following line:

Redirect /forum [url]https://[/url]<domain-name>/forum

I ran the following command from root:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vost --vhost-name=<domain-name>

I also restarted httpd service too and the redirect does not work.

I also added vhost_ssl.conf as well with the same line of code with no luck.

I know I'm missing something simple here. Is this a job for the Rewrite Engine? If so, can someone give me a working example or direct me to a web site with more information about this?

Thanks,

Lee

I wouldn't even bother with htaccess. If you're using httpdocs and httpsdocs then just make your forums in the httpsdocs and then make /forum in httpdocs and make the following index.php file

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location:https://yourdomain.com/forum");
exit;
?>

Quick, easy and doesn't require any recoding.
