Hello,
I've tried following the instructions here:
https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RedirectSSL
...in my virtual host file but it doesn't work for me. I can browse to the site with http:// but the redirect doesn't work.
(the explanation there is a little confusing ...it's hard to understand what the "/secure" is really referring to).
Browsing to the site using "https://" works but I want to force it. Does anyone know why the advice on the apache site doesn't seem to work? |

After reading those instructions more carefully, understanding them and comparing them to my virtual host, I realized that a few lines of the virtualhost file needed to be changed. So the result is that:
Those instructions on the apache Wiki work just great after all! |
