[Resolved] redirect all traffic using REDIRECT not mod-rewrite

[Joe Kerns]

I would like to use a mod_alias type redirect so that http traffic is redirected to https. I'd rather not use mod_rewrite.

Can this be done similar to the example here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/avoid.html

should work.

My questions is how would you set this up using the litespeed control panel?

 

[NiteWave]

tested on latest 5.0.7

on native virtual host, just put Redirect directives under "Rewrite" tab.

 

[mistwang]

For Litespeed native vhost configuration, you can create a redirect context.

Tried adding a context as follows:

-on non-ssl virtual host, click on Context
- click on Add
- select Redirect and click Next
- for URI enter / (meaning everything), Select Yes for external, I used 301 for moved perm, and then the https://www.mydomain.com in Destination URI.
- Save and Graceful Restart

It doesn't seem to redirect, though. I'm thinking I may need to add some sort of wildcard to the URI.

Any advice?

 

[Joe Kerns]

I tried changing the URI from / to /* but it didn't seem to make a difference.

Any help would be appreciated.

We tested it, working fine with your first configuration.
Please check error log, there could be something wrong with your vhost configuration. or the listener to vhost mapping was not configured correctly.
Turn on debug logging to check how the request was handled.

 

[Joe Kerns]

The domain wasn't included in the domain mappings of the listener on the non-ssl entry.

Added that and it worked as expected.

Thank you for your help!
