How do a write an Apache Rewrite rule to redirect requests to a directory to SSL?

  • 772

I am trying to redirect all requests within a directory on a server to https. I have tried the following in a separate config (within the config.d directory), and in an .htaccess file. Neither work, but cause no errors.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

When I tried in a config file the above was within a block.

EDIT
Here is my code in the config file:

<Directory "/var/www/html/ssl_dir/">
    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    <RequireAny>
        Require ip xx.xx.xx.0/24
        Require ip ::1
    </RequireAny>
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
        RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
    </IfModule>  
</Directory>
ssl

  1. Almost there!

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

    My first answer mistakenly used SERVER_NAME, which does not necessarily equal HTTP_HOST. The server name can be anything and very different from the domain name used to access it.
