Apache Http To Https Redirection

| Posted on by



You must configure your rewrite rules to use the X-Forwarded-Proto header and redirect only HTTP clients. Otherwise, the rewrite rules can create an infinite loop of redirection requests between your Classic Load Balancer and the instances behind it. Such a loop results in the error 'ERRTOOMANYREDIRECTS'. First of all, redirection from HTTP to HTTPS involves editing the.htaccess file. (If you know how to do this or have already done it, you can skip this step.) Let’s explain all the steps involved in editing the.htaccess file. Within the.htaccess file, you have all the particular guidelines that tell the server how to react in various cases. Apache (Apache HTTP Server) can redirect a web page using different tools. Both modalias and modrewrite modules can be used in a.htaccess file to redirect a website. Redirecting with modalias¶ The modalias handles simple URL manipulation tasks. It provides the Redirect and RedirectMatch directives. In this post I configure a url redirection from HTTP to HTTPS and viceversa using the Apache modproxy and the ProxyPass directive. I assume an environment consisting of two hosts: a Web Server Apache in front of a Tomcat Applicaton Server.In the following first example the Apache ProxyPass redirects the HTTP requests to the SSL port 8443 of the Tomcat Server.

You’ve bought your SSL secure certificate and successfully installed on Tomcat with the keytool but how do your redirect the entire site to go HTTPS and redirect any HTTP connection straight over to HTTPS.

You need to edit the 2 Tomcat configuration files; server.xml and web.xml and then when edited restart the tomcat service.

Open server.xml typically found in tomcat/conf and change:

to

Then openweb.xml (same directory) and add this snippet before the closing tag of /web-app:

Restart Tomcat and all pages should redirect to https.

Scenario :

You want to force people coming to your site to use HTTPS. Either for the entire site or a small sub-section of it.

  • Note*

Using mod_rewrite to do this isn't the recommended behavior. See RedirectSSL

Entire site (.htaccess) :

Note: While the rules you need are the same as above (because the rule above doesn't depend on any of the quirks of rewrite in .htaccess), you will need to ensure that you place this in a .htaccess file in the root of the site you want to apply it against, and to make sure you have the appropriate AllowOverride configuration in your httpd.conf

Apache Not Redirecting To Https

Either put the above solution in a .htaccess file in the directory to be affected, or put the URI prefix in the regex itself.
