I'm running the newest Debian Wheezy and I'm configuring an Apache2 server with phpMyAdmin running, not more. I have installed a self-signed certificate by:
* Removing default file in /etc/apache2/sites-available
* Modifying default-ssl file to add paths for certificate and certificate key
* Renaming default-ssl to default
* service apache2 restart
Certificate is indeed working but not quite as I have expected.
My goal is to shut down port 80 for Apache entirely and to make the browser use HTTPS automatically for any sites, including phpMyAdmin. The first problem is that I have to manually add https:// in URL to be able to open a default site from /var/www - I expected it to redirect automatically to HTTPS. The second one is phpMyAdmin not working really well with SSL. When I open http://10.0.0.8/phpmyadmin in my browser, site opens without SSL certificate and after I try to log in, it redirects me to http://10.0.0.8/phpmyadmin/index.php which results in the browser showing "Connection Refused". After opening the site with https:// instead, everything is working perfectly.
What have I done for now is I commented two first lines in ports.conf to turn off listening in port 80. Also I tried to force phpMyAdmin to use SSL by adding $cfg['ForceSSL'] = true; in config.inc.php and making a .htaccess file to redirect the user to SSL site with
| Code: | | Redirect permanent /phpmyadmin https://10.0.0.8/phpmyadmin |
How can I achieve that? I'm looking for a method that is simple to memorize. Thanks for any advance.
[list]
Apache version: 2.2.22
phpMyAdmin version: 3.4.11.1deb2
Operating system: Debian Wheezy 7.4.0 x64
Log files: Not sure where to look for them, if you need any, tell me |

| What is your problem? You can still reach your server on port 80 or what? |
