How can I automatically redirect HTTP to HTTPS on Apache servers?

.htaccess, apache, httpd.conf, linux, webserver

Solution

I have actually followed this example and it worked for me :)

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName mysite.example.com
   Redirect permanent / https://mysite.example.com/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
   ServerName mysite.example.com
  DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
  SSLEngine On
 # etc...
</VirtualHost>

Then do:

`/etc/init.d/httpd restart`

Problem

I am trying to set up automatic redirection from HTTP to HTTPS: ``` From manage.mydomain.com --- To ---> https://manage.mydomain.com ``` I have tried adding the following to my httpd.conf file, but it didn't work: ``` RewriteEngine on ReWriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R,L] ``` How can I fix it? Environment: CentOS with Apache
