Redirecting traffic to a https site

  • 772

In our mail server there are multiple virtual email domain hosted. User can use webmail.example.com (this is the first apache virtualhost) to check mail or they can use mail.THEIR-DOMAIN.com. If the put mail.THEIR-DOMAIN.com apache shows the webmail.example.com as it is the first virtualhost and mail.THEIR-DOMAIN.com doesn't exist. Recently we imposed https for webmail.example.com and added this mod_rewrite rule:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

But now users not getting the default webmail page as they were getting before. How can we redirect all request coming to the URL "mail.ANY-DOMAIN.com" to "https://webmail.example.com"? I've tried the following but it didn't work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (mail.*) https://webmail.example.com

Thanks for your help in advance.

    Try this:

    NameVirtualHost *:80    
<VirtualHost *:80>   
RewriteEngine On   
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mail. [NC]   
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://webmail.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]    
</VirtualHost>
