[SOLVED] How to automatically redirect HTTP to HTTPS on Apache servers?

Issue

Environment Centos with apache

Trying to setup 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 but it didn't work

 RewriteEngine on
    ReWriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
    RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R,L]

Any ideas?


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
