redirect an application (egroupware) from http to https

[blackflag]

Hello all,
I have egroupware installed. It is accessible via http and https.
I want egroupware only accessible via https.
I tried in apache derictives:

Redirect /egroupware https://domain.tld/egroupware

but when I access the url ispconfig says in derictives that it is not supported.

So, what is the correct way to make an app only accessible via https?
Or the correct way in ispconfig to do a redirect?

Is mod_rewrite enabled in your Apache?

[blackflag]

yes, mod_rewrite is enabled in my apache2 configuration

[falko]

What exactly did you add in the Apache Directives field? Just Redirect /egroupware https://domain.tld/egroupware?
You must at least have RewriteEngine on at the beginning. Have a look at this guide: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/rewriteguide.html

I get then a message that the limit of redirect is reached for that URL.
ANd there is no discription about this limit in the link you gave.

mod_rewrite must be loaded in your apache configuration and if you want to put rewrite rules in your apache directiveds window you must enable it wit putting this line

RewriteEngine on

in the apache directives window too as falko posted above.

"RewriteEngine on " have I set
but as I discribed I get the error message that the "limit of redirect is reached for that URL" when I browse http://domain.tld/egroupware

Okay I enable this fo some time:

Redirect /egroupware https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware
RewriteEngine on

Please browse : http://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware

that you can see the error message.

what is to do?

Redirect /egroupware https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware
RewriteEngine on

It should be
RewriteEngine on
Redirect /egroupware https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware

but as I discribed I get the error message that the "limit of redirect is reached for that URL" when I browse http://domain.tld/egroupware
This happens because when you go to https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware it is redirected to https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware which is then redirected to https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware and so on - you're in a loop. you must change your redirect rule.

[blackflag]

I have it done it how you mean it.

RewriteEngine on
Redirect /egroupware https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware


browse http://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware
give the error, also with https.

I really dont know what is going wrong.

Read the second part of my last post...

[blackflag]

you're in a loop. you must change your redirect rule

okay, but what should I change. I set it how you meant it :

RewriteEngine on
Redirect /egroupware https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware

thats what you meant, and thats what I set in ispconfig

sorry, I dont know what should I change?!

[falko]

okay, but what should I change. I set it how you meant it :

RewriteEngine on
Redirect /egroupware https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware

thats what you meant, and thats what I set in ispconfig

I just meant that the RewriteEngine line must be at the beginning, before any rewrite rule.

For the correct Redirect rule, check out this page: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/rewriteguide.html

[blackflag]

in apache deritives:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !443
RewriteRule (.*/egroupware) https://www.nopanicsystems.net/egroupware [R]

In the moment it seems that all is running!

okay, thanks for help!!!
