HTTP redirect not redirecting

As suggested here, I am using the following code in the Apache configuration file (default-ssl.conf in this case)

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName name.domain.com
    Redirect / https://name.domain.com/
</VirtualHost>

I've restarted Apache and... nothing. No error, no redirect. Http is served as http, https is served as https. What did I do wrong? My domain name doesn't start with "www" but I can't imagine that making a difference.

Solution

  • Not sure if this helps, Also some time the browsers dose DNS cache try clearing it, in chrome you can goto chrome://net-internals/#dns and clear it, or use another browser to test.

    <VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /home/webroot/example.com/htdocs

  ServerName example.com
  ServerAlias www.example.com

  <Directory /home/webroot/example.com/htdocs>
    FileETag MTime Size
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

  RewriteEngine on
  Redirect permanent / http://www.example.com/
  RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,QSA,R=permanent]

  ErrorLog /home/webroot/example.com/logs/error_log
  CustomLog /home/webroot/example.com/logs/access_log combined
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /home/webroot/example.com/htdocs

  ServerName www.example.com

  RewriteEngine on
  Redirect permanent / http://www.example.com/
  RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,QSA,R=permanent]

  ErrorLog /home/webroot/example.com/logs/error_log
  CustomLog /home/webroot/example.com/logs/access_log combined
  RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
